Hi all:
I have the following recurring problem with mailing lists all over the Internet: people do reply to my posts, by they do not address or copy
me in their replies. They send their e-mails only to the mailing list. Or they reply to the previous reply, and forget to copy the original
poster
Not sure if this is a mailman issue, but…
Occasionally as moderator I see messages in which "***SPAM*** “ has been
prepended to the subject line.
The messages are not spam.
I do not want to send them out to the list like that but cannot edit the
subject line.
Is there anything I can do?

I think you are talking here about a web forum, where you can "subscribe"
to information posted to a certain thread. I never saw this in a real mailing
list.
I Cc: this reply to you to make sure you see it - but I wonοΏ½t do this for
every message I write to any mailing list normally.
When a subject is not relevant to the body of the message or missing, the
moderator will re-post with a corrected subject. At the top of that
re-post, he includes the reason. That reminds other members to pay
attention to the subject field when posting.

It's not, although possibly Mailman can help mitigate it.

Except then you run into ethical issues and possible legal violations of
emailing people who have not opted-n to re

If you have no connection to them, but post to the list for
your own benefit, that is called "spam". It is generally considered
somewhere between rude and criminal.

Your comments are surprisingly unfair for someone in a mailing list for mailing
list software.
