As long as we can‘t configure it to send thread-only replies to unsubscribed users there is hardly an option at hand IMHO. Having users to subscribe to mailing lists is a burden but I think the impression the non-subscribers get (no replies even if there are some) is even worse - feeling ignored... So basically I support to make the lists subscribe only. -Thilo _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
