Regardless of the personal religious views, I wish to point out this user-configurable mailing list option: ### Avoid duplicate copies of messages? When you are listed explicitly in the To: or Cc: headers of a list message, you can opt to not receive another copy from the mailing list. Select Yes to avoid receiving copies from the mailing list; select No to receive copies. If the list has member personalized messages enabled, and you elect to receive copies, every copy will have a X-Mailman-Copy: yes header added to it. ### This can be set by each user, on a list by list basis, or applied globally to all Bacula lists. Visit the mailing list URL at the end of each mailing list post to set this. See the bottom of the page: ### To unsubscribe from Bacula-devel, get a password reminder, or change your subscription options enter your subscription email address: ### - -- Dan Langille BSDCan - The Technical BSD Conference : http://www.bsdcan.org/ PGCon - The PostgreSQL Conference: http://www.pgcon.org/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknbtWoACgkQCgsXFM/7nTzE0gCfUJ/nyQK1BOZu3Cx9AOJ2+3DQ 7iAAniDog6aTlkX2/s2ThWu3nhRJlB6n =Qsvx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
