But we do say that (in an auto-reply), as I've said at least twice already. I don't think the following sequence is unreasonable: 1. user posts to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2. user gets auto-reply about subscribing 3. user chooses to subscribe (or not) 4. user sees replies to their question (or not) David -- David Dawes Founder/committer/developer The XFree86 Project www.XFree86.org/~dawes _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
