You point a browser at the link in the header of every message: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mspgcc-users Or you send a message to the "help" address that's in the headers of every message: mailto:[email protected]?subject=help > And how does this work?

All mailing lists put everything you need to know to subscribe, unsubscribe, or adjust your settings in the headers of every message. >> Your webmailer should offer the opportunity to save local copies >> anyways, such as Auto-Bcc, sent folders, or thereabouts. > > Yes.

I'm not sure what you're saying in that paragraph. The proposed changes for this list will make it the same as many, many other lists. If your mail client is so bad, perhaps you'd be better off reading the list via gmane.org: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.hardware.texas-instruments.msp430.gcc.user Personally, I use a news client and point it at gmane's NNTP server. > Also, why keeping a copy in sent when the mail already bounces back > through the list (unless it is rejected)? "Bounce" means something very specific in the context of e-mail and mailing lists. I don't think you mean "bounce". > I'm sure there are many people who see it the same.

Yes there is: 1) Use a working mail client (web-based or otherwise). Gmail works fine. 2) Use the web UI at gmane.org. 3) Use an NNTP client pointed to gmane.org's NNTP server. > The mailing program I usually use is a portable low-footprint program > that does not mess with the inbox unless I explicitely tell it so.

Except it seems to be broken in several respects, or you wouldn't be breaking thread nor complaining now about how your mail client works with mailing lists who require posters to subscribe. >> It allows plain text posting by subscribers, so what's the point? > > Plain text posting is a technique from the last milennium and neither > up-to-date nor commonly available unless you're system administrator > and deliberately configure your system against the default.
