That's correct, but the mailing list's posts are available publicly on Debian's servers. Same thing for the BTS bug reports. If I go to bugs.debian.org, every bug report I have ever sent to the Debian Project is available in raw form, with the sender's address and return path, etc.. THAT is what must be fixed; no more raw e-mail on the BTS; it's okay to be able to search the bugs, but not to get the sender's whole, raw e-mail on a web site. -- Martin-Éric Racine, ICT Consultant http://www.pp.fishpool.fi/~q-funk/
