You received at least one reply before posting this rant. I'd suggest using a more suggestive Subject: line to make sure your mail is noticed in future. It may also help to craft a better 'From:' line, too - "linux" on it's own looks spammy. Regarding better results from the mailing list, using a threaded mail reader (such as mutt or thunderbird) and filtering mail from the list into it's own folder, are two ways you can improve your experience. -- Jon Dowland http://jon.dowland.name/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
