I don't see the usefulness of having mailinglists open at all. I |
| 8 |
personally dislike when I get both a personal reply and a reply to the |
| 9 |
mailinglist, and thus always reply only to the mailing list and not |
| 10 |
individual users (unless it's a personal matter, than I don't send it |
| 11 |
to the mailinglist, ofcourse). I get enough mail as it is and |
| 12 |
don't need multiple copies. :) |

As for us with multiple accounts; there are ways to set the From: |
| 15 |
field in all decent mailprograms. Why not educate these two or three |
| 16 |
users that suffers from this rather than exposing thousands of |
| 17 |
subscribers to spam? |

As I said, mailinglists should be closed for subscribers. It's easy |
| 20 |
enough to both subscribe and unsubscribe from mailinglists through |
| 21 |
various web-interfaces that even total newbies should be able to |
| 22 |
use it. Besides, as someone else said; there are both Forums and IRC |
| 23 |
and probably some other information channels as well that can be used |
| 24 |
if you can't figure out how this subscribe thingymagick works. :) |
