Hi,

(I replied to the last message sent at this point, not to the original
post in this thread)

Unfortunately I am not mailing-list clued, and I don't have a solution
for this current spam-problem.

With risk of stating the obvious:

the tree-like nature of a thread is now gone (isn't it?) This makes it
almost impossible for me to sensibly read a historical thread - which
I do often when searching for a solution to a problem or weirdness I'm
encountering.

And... somehow I have trouble dealing with "anonymous" postings (that
is, without a name at the bottom of the mail). New users posting a
quick question may typically not sign their email, because they expect
their email-address to be enough identification. Perhaps this is
something I have to get used to, I don't know. (In my head, the origin
of a post on this ML is often a hint to its relevance, or even
indication of whether it is an answer or question - drh and
experienced devs usually don't post too many questions here...)

I wouldn't be opposed to a forum-style list, provided I'd get a digest
(even if only with titles of newly posted messages) by email. (I would
probably never "poll" a forum for new posts; perhaps other people do.)

Interesting to see how this develops. I'll ask some mail-savvy friends
for possible solutions, but I guess there are mail-savvy people on
this list already.

Michai
