i can think of two or three solutions to this problem... 1. a separate companion list for news and forwards 2. modifying Mailman behavior to route forwards only to people who want them. i have some ideas on this. 3. Mailman has a "Topics" feature which is currently disabled, see details below. if everyone who forwarded would put a keyword like [fwd] or [news-item] in their subject line, i think we could handle this. > So my vote is for comrades to be comradely, and post the entire article. > If Louis needs some extra money to handle the added bandwidth for the > listserve, I'll be first to pony up. > hold that thought .... Les Mailman Topics: The topic filter categorizes each incoming email message according to regular expression filters you specify below. If the message's Subject: or Keywords: header contains a match against a topic filter, the message is logically placed into a topic bucket. Each user can then choose to only receive messages from the mailing list for a particular topic bucket (or buckets). Any message not categorized in a topic bucket registered with the user is not delivered to the list. Note that this feature only works with regular delivery, not digest delivery. The body of the message can also be optionally scanned for Subject: and Keywords: headers, as specified by the topics_bodylines_limit configuration variable. ________________________________________________ YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.
