And I suppose that you filed bugs/RFE's for this? If so, can you please provide a link to the bug/rfe? That way we can comment there rather than yet another mailing list management thread. There are multiple bugs/issues filed concerning these issues; many that have been discussed recently, and several that are currently being worked on. Samples: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6286 [Auto-reply warning for users who are not subscribed to a mailing list] http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=18731 [Unsubscribed user should be added in reply-to field] http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=24325 [help the moderated mails to get answered properly] etc., etc. Unfortunately there does not seem to be any single bug/issue that combines all of the list problems, at least that I can find. Perhaps on the new wiki site?

And this would be the wrong place to fight windmills anyway. IMHO the request (was it a request?) to add something of substance to the subject if there is none, be it [moderated], [user], nothing, is a good and proper request/suggestion here. I'll certainly try to do this on future responses. All else regarding management of the list by OOo and Collabnet would (again IMHO) would be better served via http://www.openoffice.org/issues/ or the lists responsible for the management of the list. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
