This makes it a "-1" for me. That's not what happens. Each list always places its tag on the front; indeterminacy only happens on the client side when the recipient chooses to coalesce mail messages on Message-ID to eliminate duplicates. (That is, to handle cross-posting.)

Thanks for your input. This bug/RFE was filed by a community member, responded to as we were assembling our new build of Mailman (which has the cross-posting friendly "are-you-an-opensolaris-member" test suggested as an improvement by another community member, and which will allow project and community leads not have to moderate incoming spam). At present, I am still expecting our Mailman build folks to investigate sanitizing the latter portion of the Subject line; this work is going on in parallel with the other items you mention. - Stephen -- Stephen Hahn, PhD Solaris Kernel Development, Sun Microsystems [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/sch/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
