Do things at all like "Set <listname> Index" and "Set <listname> Nomail" exist for Mailman subscribers? I followed Mailman-users long enough to conclude that it was beyond me to administer on my own machine, and don't recall ever venturing to ask.
My favorite, of the lists I subscribe to, does run on Mailman -- and is busier at times than I can keep up with. My second favorite, far busier than the first, runs on listserv, fortunately for me. I keep it set to Index when I have time for it at all, and to Nomail when I don't -- which has the advantage that I am still subscribed, for purposes of the restriction that says only subscribers can post. If something urgent enough to need it should come up while I'm not receiving, I *can* post it without hassling the moderators. I would like very much to do the same two things on the favorite, but neither of the moderators there knows of a way. They are moderators, after all, and very fine ones, too -- but not managers; they don't go in for technicalia much, and have back-up from people who do. If those options don't exist, under some name I fail to guess, is there any hope of getting them in the forseeable future? -- RR 'Beartooth' Neuswanger <karhunhammas (at) lserv.com> double retiree, linux hatchling running pine 4.43 on ISP's SunOS 5.8; Opera 6.02, Pan 0.11.2, Galeon 1.2.5, & Mozilla 1.0 under RH 7.2 Keep in mind that I have no idea what I am talking about. ------------------------------------------------------ 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 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
