This header will also contain only => "official" list names, for your convinience. =For your convenience, all messages contain a Message-id: header. Now, =with great confidence and shutzpah, I urge you, please, use it! Mail coming from decent servers will have it. I count hub as one... =I don't own my own domain and can't create email addresses at will. Mm. Indeed. Well, right now, majordomo has a per-user option of mailing a message to its sender. A similar option can be introduced to allow for per-user configuration of what to do with user on multiple lists handled by the same machine. The default values of that option for a new user can be left to the list's maintainer. => =Finally, those headers are not altogether reliable. => => Well, I'm not sure what you mean by this. =Look at the headers to this message. It was also sent to -chat, but =you don't see that in the To: or Cc:. Weird, I admit, unless you did this on purpose (through Bcc, or smth)... => It is a _problem_ only when it's rampant. But it is always an anoyance. =I can think of many things that are annoyances, or potential =annoyances... Absolutely, but this one just recently came up... =And this is one of them: people who have to (repeately) ask "Please =Cc: me your answer." With proper -list policy such requests are not =necessary. They are if the person asking is not subscribed to the list... =[And yes, majordomo removed it...it was only a temporary snafu on =jmb's part, though...otoh, it was well-timed] It looks like a special header a-la Newsgroups: (X-MalingLists) is needed. Which reminds one, that the whole mailing lists structure has overgrown itself and should be converted to Usenet newsgroups ASAP (moderated and robo-moderated). -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
