That I want my time to be spent useful is reality, not just theory; |
15 |
until you can show me the invisible subscription state as well as the |
16 |
Reply-To mungling are features, I keep my mailer fixed to unbreak that. |

That is because you address me about this matter; if you weren't, I |
23 |
wouldn't have sent you a single mail. Or perhaps one in a hundred days; |
24 |
I consider the meta discussion brought up here to be more cluttering |
25 |
than that uncertain single mail. |

Why do you filters allow list messages in your inbox? |

That list messages land in your inbox is caused by your filter and |
37 |
mail client; as you can see per the example procmail rule, as well as |
38 |
my mail client, neither of both do that here. |

No; I don't see why I should stop following the mailing list etiquette, |
43 |
start relying on possibly wasting time as well as break what is fixed. |

But yes; for convenience, I've dropped you from CC. |
