You don't need to be subscribed to send e-mails to this list. The support page
within OOo's web site lies.
Go to the OOo home page; click Support; click "Archives" against "Users Mail List" - 3rd item down,
left hand column. Under "Mailing List Details" it says "List address [email protected]". This
might be a clue ...
If you want to follow the forum as a News Group then you have to be subscribed
to post.
To tell if the sender is subscribed look at the e-mail headers. If *both* of
these exist the the user is *not* subscribed:
Delivered-To: mailing list [email protected]
Delivered-To: moderator for [email protected]
If only the first exists then s/he is subscribed.
Also, the fact that someone doesn't know what to do with an installer doesn't mean they are stupid. It just
means they are ignorant. The difference is that ignorance can be fixed. I know lots of people who don't know
the very simplest concepts of their Operating Systems ("directories", "select",
"file associations" for example) but who are decidely not stupid and are extremely knowledgeable
(i.e. not ignorant) in fields you and I have probably never even heard of.
I'm certain that there are. I don't mean to insult the users that
post. But I subscribe to quite a few mailing lists, and none see the
really basic questions like "can I delete the installer", or better
yet, the posts with no subject line at all. Even an ignorant person
knows what the subject line of email is. If it happened once, then I
wouldn't be mentioning it. But we see probably five of those a week.
