Really? I've got a load of mails (including various today) which have a "To" field of 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] On the other hand, those mails come with an ant-dev 
unsubscribed message at the bottom :( I'm happy to admit I've got less idea than you 
about this kind of thing, so an explanation would be much appreciated, as I'm pretty 
confused atm :)

The latter I see as positive - the former I'm less sure about. My world view at the 
moment (the one where Ant has a CVS list) is that when I subscribed to ant-dev I was 
automatically subscribed to ant-cvs as well. That seemed like a good idea to me, in 
that it maintained the segregation very simply, gave me the granularity I might want 
in the future, but exposed me to CVS by default.

Perhaps what's actually happening with Ant is that ant-cvs is an alias for ant-dev? If 
so, I'd at least like to ask that if something similar could be set up for Log4j, that 
would be handy. Filtering by "To" field is rather nicer than filtering by subject.

I'm not nearly as bothered by this as I might seem, by the way - I just tend to speak 
up when I'm asked for my opinion :)
