Note 1 : So how do I know if someone is not subscribed ?
That is easy : there is a field in every email on this list called
"Delivered-to". For subscribed users it will show your email address. For
unsubscribed users, there will be two "Delievered-to" fields, the one as
described above, and a second one with the value "moderator". Any email
delivered to the moderator and then to the list, means that the email was
from an unsubscribed user and therefore you should try to CC: that user.
Many people use their email tool to filter the users@ emails so that those
with the field "Delivered-to" with a value of "moderator" get flagged to
indicate that they should be treated specially.
I'm embarrassed to show my ignorance, but with my system, there is no
"Delivered-to" field.
There is "Subject", "From", "Reply-to", and "To".
Try View > Headers > All
I'm using Windows XP, with Thunderbird as the e-mail client. Is there
some way I should configure Thunderbird to show this field? Or is there
something else I should be looking for?
With Thunderbird, here's how to create a filter for the Delivered-To header:
from the menubar, Tools->Message Filters..., and click New...
Then, click the first drop-down list, and at the bottom, select
Customize...
A new, little dialog will pop up, allowing you to enter custom header
definitions.
You should type in "Delivered-To" as the new header definition, click
Add, and Ok.
Now you can enter "moderator" in the text-field to the right of the
dropdown list that says "contains".
Give the filter a name in the very top, and define what to do with the
filtered emails at the bottom.
Easy? Not too bad.
