Yes, I also use Gmane sometimes and find these rules very annoying. > And it now appears that it also mangles subject lines containing quotation > marks. Yes, I've seen that bug too, though never reported it. You should report it to http://news.gmane.org/gmane.discuss/ if nobody else has ever reported it. A bigger problem is that wikitech-l seemed to silently discard my posts made through Gmane until I subscribed. IIRC someone said this is because they receive such a huge volume of spam. But it would be much nicer if they sent me back the standard Mailman-generated rejection message instead of just silently discarding my message. That way I would have some instant feedback on why my message never made it to the list. -- Jason Spiro: software/web developer, packager, trainer, IT consultant.
