That I want my time to be spent useful is reality, not just theory; until you can show me the invisible subscription state as well as the Reply-To mungling are features, I keep my mailer fixed to unbreak that. > What is currently happening is you are sending mails directly > addressed to me so they do not get filtered and end up cluttering my > already full inbox. That is because you address me about this matter; if you weren't, I wouldn't have sent you a single mail. Or perhaps one in a hundred days; I consider the meta discussion brought up here to be more cluttering than that uncertain single mail. > You are breaking my filters.

I'd rather you do that heavy lifting (on account of > you causing it). That list messages land in your inbox is caused by your filter and mail client; as you can see per the example procmail rule, as well as my mail client, neither of both do that here. > Do you see what I'm getting at? No; I don't see why I should stop following the mailing list etiquette, start relying on possibly wasting time as well as break what is fixed. But yes; for convenience, I've dropped you from CC. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
