I was thinking about this earlier. I wondered if it might even be worth it just to CC the authors of all topics whose status has changed since the last what's cooking, to make sure that they see updates pertinent to them. I know that I at least have filters which catch emails which CC me and promote them to my inbox, so I would see them more readily. My normal mode of operation is that when I have a patch in I check all the "What's cooking" messages as if I was F5-ing a webpage, to follow its status. Were I CCd on the message, I would be updated whenever the mail was sent, which I would appreciate. This also has the nice side effect of updating patch authors who are not subscribed to the list. On the other hand, its possible some people would find that this generated lots of noise, and it might also cause unrelated replies to the "What's Cooking" message to CC all authors. -- -Dan
