That depends on your intent. My use of the phrase "delivered through this mailing list" was deliberate. Mails sent privately do not deliver through this list. I regard mail sent privately as, well, private, and separate from list mail. I'm not asking that anyone agree with me, but that's the way I treat it. I also consider people who just spam everyone they can on every reply they make to be somewhat rude. Excessive use of "Reply All" can cause mail header cancer. :) > I will also note for the record that the List-ID header for this list > appears to have a small error...

The List-ID is not the same thing as the list posting address. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do | | not represent the views or policy of any other person or organization. | | All information is provided without warranty of any kind. | _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
