First off, if you want to be Cc:'ed, please set Mail-Followup-To: appropriately. Just asking for it isn't good enough, since it doesn't propogate well. Secondly, it's quite appropriate for someone to fail to Cc: you when they're not interested in conversing with you directly or feel that the context off their message has stopped being of utility to you and is only useful to the list. You can request that they do it, but there's definetly nothing in the list policy that requires people to Cc: people who ask. If you care about it, the archives are publicly available, so it's rather difficult to be "sneaky." Don Armstrong -- I now know how retro SCOs OSes are. Riotous, riotous stuff. How they had the ya-yas to declare Linux an infant OS in need of their IP is beyond me. Upcoming features? PAM. files larger than 2 gigs. NFS over TCP. The 80's called, they want their features back. -- Compactable Dave http://www3.sympatico.ca/dcarpeneto/sco.html http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu
