I've suggested that in the past. This is one of the reasons that I modified the sources.redhat.com mailing list web page to mention the fact that the lists are archived. I don't know of gcc.gnu.org has any wording to this effect, though. With recent changes to the spam checking software, I can do filtering on email. For instance, on the cygwin mailing list, I added the capability to subscribe to a cygwin-replyto mailing list. Once you are a member of that list, all email to the cygwin list has a reply-to added automatically. I also add a "X-IsSubscribed: yes" header when senders are subscribed to the list so that you can make a decision on whether to cc or not. I was contemplating honoring some kind of tag in the body like: END-OF-MESSAGE so that people could avoid sending the confidentiality stuff. That would put the onus on the sender to make the decision about what shows up in email and in the archives. Once we do that, I could easily start bouncing messages which contain confidentiality trailers. FWIW, I really hate them. cgf
