I think it's worth doing so. If you're moving to your own mailman-hosted list it's not that hard to import an existing mbox archive. The old list archive may not stick around for ever... and the SF one is fairly horrid anyway. > 2) I would like to recommend we use a plain text only list.

Oh, $DEITY yes please. And while we're on the topic of email hygiene, please could we ditch the gratuitous [edk2] from the subject line? It just serves to obfuscate the *real* subject line. I suspect most people here filter the list into a folder... and it's entirely redundant then. If some recipients *really* want it, let them add it for *themselves*. Also, please could we drop the misguided 'Reply-To:' header which hijacks private replies and points them back to the list. Mail clients already have *two* buttons; one for a private and one for a public reply. The abusive Reply-To: header just makes them do (basically) the same thing. > 3) We can automatically subscribe current subscribers to the new > list.

But *before* you do so, it's considerate to send out an email telling people what the Reverse-Path of the new list will be, so that they can update their filters. > 4) When we switch, should we do so after we settle on if we are > going to split the list or do it now to get past the technical issue, > and then deal with the process change?

Unless there are people who top-post and who inconsiderately don't trim their citations... :) -- dwmw2
