Well, Jonathan, since you asked, here are the things I've found cumbersome
about freebsd-questions, some/all of which may be due to my own ignorance:
1) I get all email posted to freebsd-questions in my inbox (actually, some end

Wrap your lines;
To reply to both list and sender use Reply to all;
To send a private message delete [EMAIL PROTECTED];
To and so on. Control everything yourself!
But I think that the best is to use some normal mailer program that support
simple list handling.

Thanks, Chuck. Subscription Options has an option Which topic categories
would you like to subscribe to? that has No topics defined,

Thanks, Jeff and others.
Ok, I'll use Reply to All. FYI, I only use this Yahoo account for situations
where I don't want to get spammed to death. I started using UNIX, email and the
Internet in 1989, but for the last 15 years I've been stuck with Windows (not
counting hosted Web servers) --
