On 4 Jan 2008 I wrote in this list: ==== begin quote === 1. You get the "[moderated]" as part of the subject line when you click the mailto: link on the OpenOffice.org support page (at http://www.openoffice.org/contact.html ) regardless of whether or not you are subscribed. To see this, go to that web page and hover your mouse over the mailto: link at the numbered point #2 near the middle of the page. Note that there's another #2 lower down; that's *not* the one I mean. 2. You don't get "[moderated]" if you type your own subject line (unless you explicitly include it) even if you are not subscribed; the moderator's software does *not* insert it. As has been noted before, the *only* way to tell if the poster is unsubscribed is by the presence of a "Delivered-To:" header containing "moderator for [email protected]" and, if I remember correctly, even this is not 100% reliable because it doesn't catch unsubscribed users who send messages via Gmane's news interface. === end quote === The web page I mentioned still exists but I can't find the mailto: link any more. The only mailto: links in that page today are to request subscription to different lists, to order OOo on CD or to contact the site's webmaster. There was a major revamp of the OOo web site a short time ago so perhaps the offending link was removed then. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
