My butt has been saved (from Usenet-style flaming, not corporate-style firing) on a number of occasions by the practice of making my personal filter a subset of the rules used on my lists. I realize for various reasons that's not always feasible, but it's a good rule of thumb to start with. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
