Thanks all! That’s kinda what I figured. I asked mainly because we have some approval only lists, and if the person waits a day or two to approve, the message will end up “down” in someones inbox. Obviously, this would be less of an issue if they didn’t have hundreds/thousands of unread messages… but that’s a people issue, not Mailman’s fault. =) Thanks! -Ryan Stasel ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
