How does one send email to *THIS* list, without being subscribed in |

the first place? A bugzilla mailing list is a different matter. A web |
11 |
form bug submission goes to a list, which the submitter is probably not |
12 |
subscribed to. Developers do need to CC their replies to the original |
13 |
submitter to let them know what's happening. But I'm not aware of any |
14 |
such mechanism on this list. If someone is involved in a thread here, |

I do this to the few lists I run into that I want/need, which blindly |
26 |
follow Chip's ideas. |
