We have four discussion mailing lists on SourceForge, as well as the one on sources.redhat.com. Quite often a given message will be relevant to two of the SourceForge lists, so it gets crossposted to both of those, but then it'll also be crossposted to the redhat.com list because lots of people haven't subscribed to the SourceForge lists yet, and the lists are configured to encourage direct CC:s of replies to the original poster, so if I've previously participated in a discussion I'll probably be on the CC: list as well, and so the end result is that I usually get three or four copies of every message. I have to manually skip the extra copies, and it seems quite likely that I could miss seeing something important because I deleted it thinking it was a duplicate of something else. Is the CC:-to-original-poster thing really a good idea? Do we still need the sources.redhat.com mailing list? Would it be possible to move the subscriber list from sources.redhat.com to sourceforge, to lessen the impact of closing the older list? Is there a way to configure SourceForge's mailing-list software to only send one copy of a given message to one recipient, across mailing lists? -- Matthew Skala mskala@ansuz.sooke.bc.ca Embrace and defend. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/
