I for one would like this too. On one hand, it is inconvenient for people with multiple email addresses, but there is an easy way around that. What you do is subscribe twice, and go to the options page and turn off email for one of them. That way you can (for example) email with your normal address and receive email from the list on unique addresses for sorting or whatever. We do this on other lists for freebsd.org. However, we need to have mailman be a little smarter about it. Right now, it holds the messages for moderation. Instead, it needs to immediately bounce the email with instructions about what to do. Otherwise we have the situation where somebody emails and gets i the queue, then sends with the right address and it goes through. Later on, the message is approved and we get a duplicate on the list. -Peter -- Peter Wemm - peter@wemm.org; peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5 "If Java had true garbage collection, most programs would delete themselves upon execution." -- Robert Sewell
