Now that Thunderbird has stopped its development, perhaps we will have a fix
someday for the bug about the multiple header. It will be easier then to spot
non subscribed users. For the moment, a mere Ctrl+U when there is a high
suspicion of non-subscribed sender will do, the volume of this list is not that
heavy...
If there is no consensus, then things should remain as they are. Rejected
emails will only increase the user frustration. This is bad publicity that we
won't even notice. So better be able to monitor all those new users cases, it
can help improve UX.
As for the rant, the forum has also seen a flood of posts about dictionary and
thesaurus, together with startup problem. Sounds perhaps silly and small time
issue for accustomed users but a real pain for new users. but well, this was
the first release with Apache, I guess it will help improve the QA checks
before a release.
Bottom line is: we should take care of the new users, by listening to their
complaints (even through non-subscribed mails) and by avoiding the small
glitches that can be viewed as show stopper by new users (because those
problems should be basics that should not lead time loss trying to fix them).
And since Scooter is not really a new user, it also means that users can be
very quickly fed up with that too...

+1 on that.
As an example to support that impression, note the operation of this
list server; e.g. people who are not members are allowed to post
questions, but since they are not members they cannot see the answers
to their questions.
There was a thread about rejecting those mails, there was even
a "Moderation Rejection Experiment"
http://markmail.org/thread/ukrbtqysmejax5q6 but I don't recall in what
ended all these things. May be the list moderators can tell.
I think that thread postdates the start of the 'apache era'.
I recall in the OOo days there were over-frequent discussions about
disallowing non-member postings. But arguments were put both ways, no
consensus could ever be reached, and by default the status quo persisted
- to allow unrestricted posting.
