Mixing the two makes no sense.
If everybody got the list delivered immediately, via email, you might have a point. But that isn't the case - some people only read PDML occasionally, via the digests, or even just by browsing the website. That's why I explicitly sent email to four people as well as the list. It wasn't intended to be private - it's a public discussion, sent to the list. But because I only CCed the list, rather than adding PDML to the alias of participants, your filter got confused. As William Robb has pointed out, it takes all of about 15 seconds to fix your filter - far less time than you've spent ranting on the list. You'd get exactly the same behaviour if the explicit email addresses I used were people not on the PDML list, too. I don't see any rules on the PDML site that say I must specify PDML in the "To:" header, and not in a "Cc:" header, so I don't think you can insist on that. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
