Hello everyone.

The Unicode mail list has now been re-activated. If you experience 
trouble with subscription issues or functionality, please feel free to 
e-mail me directly.


Regards,
Rick

Hi Don,


Rick, Will the existing mail archives be maintained? At same location?


This is a good question.

The current archives are actively manufactured by Hypermail, and unless 
something goes terribly wrong, the archiving system will continue to 
work for now. There will be new Mailman archives for the lists, also, 
from the date of the switch-over. It hasn't been decided whether to 
consolidate, and how the archive documentation page will work. I'm kind 
of taking one step at a time.



On that topic, I couldn't find the mail archive for the oldafr...@unicode.org  
list. Is that still maintained?


There were never public Hypermail archives for that specialist list, 
which has been retired since April 2009. We can discuss that off-list.


Regards,
Rick

On all the lists I run, this is an option the subscriber can personally 
control (I agree that it is the best default).

Hello Bjoern--
Thanks for the note on this. I'll be sure to double check during 
setup. Normally our current lists are configured so that users do 
receive copies of messages they send.

If at all possible, please make sure this does not result in people not
receiving mails they normally would, specifically mails to the list they
sent or that they are copied on. I have seen some Mailman installations
where the default is not to send mails in such cases, which confuses
mail filtering setups.
