Not such a good request.

thanks everyone for the help on the "removing a list users" questions,
I greatly appreciate it! (-:
Helpful (thanks Han & Tonnere!)
"I've been struggling with this as well, and you really can't ask all
those people to comply with your wishes.
You should use a mailfilter, for example like this with maildrop:
R='/home/han/Mail'
# Drop all messages to misc@ in their own specific mailbox.
if (/^Sender:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/)
to $R/openbsd-misc
# You don't want to miss you are CC-ed after all. You just don't # want
them in your maildir.
if ( /^(Cc|To).*(openbsd|misc|tech|bugs|gnats|source-changes)@/)
{
to $R/cc
}
# This line is for all the mail that passed the filter to $R/Maildir
# Han"
"What about fixing your filter instead? If you use e.g. procmail, you
just need to use the TO spec.

Funny
"I would like the moon to move closer to the Earth please, so I can
study it more effectively. Why did the Apollo guys not think of this?
Think of the fuel savings!"
Friendly and inviting (-: (Sorry about that, I didn't mean to offend
you Nick, I have by no means tried to come over as a mail list etiquette
expert, just trying to get my needs met, but you are right this may have
been offensive to others)
"wow. You ask one novice question and you become an expert on mail list
etiquette? You have the nerve to dictate how people help you for free?
You can't imagine how offensive that is.
I've got a really interesting idea for a filter...
Nick."
"Can people please only mail stuff to misc that I'm interested in?
Doh."
