It's done by all Lists in the Linux development universe, and it's the only sane way to handle a list. We don't require people to subsribe to post to the list, and keeping everyone in the To/Cc list means it arrives at those people as well. In addition it allows subscribes that are on tons of lists to prioritize discussions they're actually involved in personally by getting a copy in the inbox that can be replied to ASAP while also having an archived copy in the list folder. Every other way to run a list is simply insane. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
