PLEASE don't give advice without understanding. > > > > -- OK the big difference is that Nabble maintains a separate archive and has it's own members database - so if you want to post via the Nabble archive you must have an account in the TDF specific nabble database. You must also be subscribed to the mailing list. Here is the way it works in practice - the Nabble archive right now 'sees' 80+ Mailing lists for TDF, once a person registers with the TDF/Nabble archive then from within the Nabble interface they can go to a TDF/List and have Nabble handle the list registration - you can, from within the Nabble interface opt to receive mails to your personal in-box, but the default it to not do so. If you registered to a TDF mail list in a 'normal' way, meaning outside of the Nabble interface, then you sill must register with the Nabble database (tdf specific db) before it will post a message to the any list for you - which is a good thing, so no anonymous posting. Let's look at that again - I registered with a TDF mail list, from my mail client, I go to Nabble and say post this to that list - it says I don't know you, so you register with Nabble and then go to the list and try to post - Nabble will say: You must be registered with the list and you just say - go to hell and post it..it works, because once nabble knows who you are it will do what you ask. Now you are not registered to a ML from you mail client. You go to Nabble, try to post, are prompted to register, you do so, now you want to post to a list and Nabble again tells you that you must _still_ register with the list (because Nabble does not own the lists) and you say OK - nabble will generate an email to register your email address (the one your registered with Nabble) to the mailing list with the noreply flag, you will get a confirmation in your mail client in-box and you must reply to that just as if you had registered yourself. Now - one advantage here is that you never need to unregister. This is really good for those cases where someone wants to ask 1 or 2 questions and then doesn't want to see the list anymore. or, a likely scenario, they ask 1 or 2 questions every year or so, this is a common scenario and again this never needing to unregister (therefore not needing to re-register) is handy. That 1 or 2 question person by the way (and yes I already ran the numbers for LIbO, just like I did at OO.o) makes up the overwhelming majority of list users (and not just on the users list). To wrap it up - for the OP here, just register with Nabble, for on-going purposes, I wrote this long email as a first draft for a wiki page...will put a link here when it is done.
