For others, it's essential absolutely essential. The challenge is to build a system that is convenient for both audiences. We can't hope to achieve perfection, and fortunately it's a mostly free world, and totally free software.

Mailman's got an email interface, and it's actually been much improved for MM2.1. AcLA> On top of that all those damn extra headers that AcLA> are added to each email are a total pain.

I guess I'm now "whoever you are". :) Some people hate the headers, others see them as the standards-compliant way to improve the user's experience. But with your site admin's approval, you will be able to suppress these headers in MM2.1. -Barry ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py
