No rant, but a few questions: 1) just how did I manage to get
unsubscribed from this list (I've been subscribed and posting here since
2006), and
Have no idea about how the un-subscription happened. Whether this happened before or after the
list migration - have no idea. The old mail list software had its issues (as does the new one) and
I think doing random things was one of them (although I agree this should not be the case). I can
re-subscribe you if you wish.
Another possibility is that enough messages bounced that it triggered the automatic unsubscribe --
that happened to me a while back even on the old system.
2) how does one determine if someone is subscribed or not?
Delivered-To: moderator for [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]>
seems to have gone missing.
When we changed to Sympa I also noticed that the header denoting moderated posts was no long
present. I think that it is just not a feature of the software. I'll raise a question to the
application owners and will forward their response when its received.

If the capability isn't there anymore, it seems that the moderator who gets a message from an
unsubscribed user initiating a thread (or hijacking one!) needs to give the user enough info to
follow the discussion via Nabble, Gmane, and/or the standard archive (wherever that is now, and
assuming there's a Reply capability). Has anybody worked out such a procedure yet?
Another question is whether there is still a way to use a different account for actions using an
indirect form, like the old [email protected]. If so, what is the
syntax? As you know, that was very handy to avoid problems with "munged" addresses and so on.
