How is the new name determined? What happens if you just post to mailingl...@example.com? Is it possible to split or merge threads? > We need to somehow have the thread name passed around with the > message, and I'm *guessing* that just putting that metadata in with > message is the right choice, but I'm worried that message doesn't > seem to have listinf stored so maybe the message is > list-independent and could be sent to multiple lists and thus be on > multiple threads at once. What happens occasionally on Python lists is that a discussion that originates on one list will propagate to another, then disappear from the first, then come back to the first. (distutils-sig is especially famous for this behavior, with the "other list" being python-dev.) What behavior would you propose for the dlists in this case? _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
