Here's why I would prefer "Mediator": What we want is a header field name that indicates the message has been accepted, modified and forwared by a program. The header field name 'List-Agent' does that, but it is specific to mailing lists. The term 'Mediator' describes the same, but it is general in meaning. Any instance modifying and forwarding a message can use it. If we use List-Agent others will have to register another header field name - 'Mediator' would fit for all. p@rick -- state of mind () http://www.state-of-mind.de Franziskanerstraße 15 Telefon +49 89 3090 4664 81669 München Telefax +49 89 3090 4666 Amtsgericht München Partnerschaftsregister PR 563 _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
