In fact, to be honest I think we should just change the referenced entities in mailing-lists.ent to no longer be marked up with <email> tags. This is a problem pretty much everywhere we reference a mailing list and it's the reported cause of more than a few bogus subscribe messages. And yes, I've already heard the idea of having a filter which grabs those messages and filters/does the right thing with them and I've heard it more than once. Everybody suggests it, but nobody wants to wade into our mail-handling scripts and actually implement such a thing, so let's just fix the problem at the source. :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
