Announcement: CHANGES TO THE LIST

Hokay...

In my own opinion, most of the comments on the list about the reply-to
function preferred the "old" method. A fair number of the people who
preferred the "new" method have since publicly changed their mind. As a
result, the list now has the reply address set to the list which is how it
used to be before the move. I'd be happy to take any criticism for my
handling of the situation: send those emails to dev-null_at_tseinc.com

For the non-unix non-sendmail oriented on the list, that's a joke, don't
bother sending.

Now that the major issue appears to be resolved, I'm taking requests on any
other list behaviour that people don't like. I don't promise to implement
all of them, but I'll gladly take a look at it. Quite a few people sent
me... er.... "suggestions", but because of all the flurry of activity
related to the "reply-to" dilemma I didn't do a good job of tracking those
other requests. Here's what I can remember:

1) verify that digests are being built
2) check if the digests are sent automagically or does the list owner have
to "goose" them out
3) if they can be done automagically, get input from the digest users as to
how often they want them sent
4) Verify that digest people are on the digest list, not the non-digest list
5) See if users can be allowed to send to the list without getting daily
traffic

If you have anything to add to the above, please DO send in the request to
west_at_tseinc.com

Regards,

Jay West
