Wrong. The issue was having to search through the headers to find if the
poster was subscribed or not. There was no indication in the subject
that the poster was not subscribed. This wasted much time for people
providing support.
Worse than that even. User Q sends in a query. Subbed user A replies,
subbed user B follows that up, and C then wants to add to the thread
to give what he feels is a better response. How on earth is C supposed
to find out whether the /original/ poster Q was subbed or not, to be
sure that his response will reach Q? Even if he's willing to check the
entire thread, he may not have kept the original Q and A emails.
I always thought that the mail list should have been set up so that you
simply COULD NOT post to it if you weren't subscribed!!
