There used to be a practive where you directly post to the mailing list with: [ please CC me on the replies as I'm not subscribed to the list ] in the subject. It works for me for ages and I don't need to login to a website and use browser forms for email in case I need to ping someone (as for example with this thread being on website-discuss where I'm not subscribed)... > In my opinion the Jive forums can't be deleted until we get a mailman > deployment that recognises all valid webapp accounts.

I have no problem allowing users to post to a maliling list from a web. But by using a stable and maintained software, not a half-baked solution that does not do what it should and that none wants to maintain and enhance and fix. To me this is not good craftsmanship but rather trying to be "everything for everybody" which never worked in the past and will probably never work in the future... -- http://martinman.net _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list [email protected]
