Yep, I do this. I do not subscribe because I do not want my inbox flooded with emails, and I couldnt figure out a sane way to only see the messages I care about: - http://webapps.stackexchange.com/q/54707/exclude-starred-messages - http://webapps.stackexchange.com/q/55045/gmail-label-unread-count So I wrote an Awk script that essentially invokes cURL with the right params to reply to mailing list messages, without being subscribed: http://github.com/svnpenn/tryst If OP is suggesting people can only reply if they are subscribed, then I am not a fan of that. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
