Jordan K. Hubbard once stated: =And no, I'm not simply going to whap `delete' on cross-posts or make =procmail a solution for a problem which should be handled by the =posters themselves. The charters were written for a reason and we =expect people to follow them. There may be situations when it is desirable to get the message to more then one list. It is, of course, causing a high level of annoyance if the intersection between the lists is high. IMHO, this should be handled by mailing list software. Make sure no-one gets the same message ID twice is rather simple, since all the data is available to the mailing list software. This should also solve the problem of people CC-ing responses directly -- if the address is already in CC or TO -- do not include it. Unfortunately, this feature (multiple lists) does not seems to exist in current mailing list software :-( Once such software appears, the mailing chapters can probably, be amended :-) -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
