Something is screwy here, either with my filters or the list or summat else.
To identify users who are not subscribed to the OOo-users list, I was
informed by both CPH snd Peter Kupfer to look for the 'Delivered-To:
moderator for [email protected]' string.
I set up a filter like that and presto the unsubbed users showed up in
red so I was able to Cc them in offering a reply.
My problem is that on a recent thread started by me on the 15/04/07 I
had a reply from a supposed un-subscribed user, [EMAIL PROTECTED], as
the entry showed up in red. My main concern is that the 'Delivered-To'
string is not functioning as it should or there might be anoter
rule/string I could add in to make the identifying of the unsubbed users
more accurate.
How is this possible? I can only guess that the responder (KA Visser)
saw my entry in the archive, not been subscribed, but still sent a reply
on that thread to the list?
Is there something else that can be used to stop unsubbed users replying
to subbed memers threads?
Just curious

As the person in question, I can answer that <grin>.
I use an IMAP account for this and a few other mailing lists. The
address is properly subscribed to the list.
I use Thunderbird for all my emails, and I filter all the mail received
on the IMAP account to a number of folders in my local store (ie, it
moves them off the IMAP server and into Local Folders), just to make it
a little easier to sort through.
However, because I'm no longer "in" the IMAP account, when I reply, it
uses my default email address, and I need to manually change it, before
sending. This is what happened in the above thread - I forgot to change
it before sending.
I thought it would bounce or die, and resent my reply using the
subscribed address. I was surprised to see the reply from my default
address actually show up, as well as my reply from the subscribed email
address.
So sorry for the confusion, hope it all makes sense.
With respect to Dave's comment about the gmane gateway, I've used that
in the past, but found it not a useful to navigate as a pure mailing list.
