Ar an dara lá déag de mí Eanair, scríobh Stephen J. Turnbull: I just subscribed to, and unsubscribed from, xemacs-winnt, using aidan at this domain as my address. Once I received the password, I went straight to the mailman options page, and no-dupes was set. I did the same thing with a subscription to xemacs-beta, with the same result. I’m pretty sure it’s the default. :-) -- “Ah come on now Ted, a Volkswagen with a mind of its own, driving all over the place and going mad, if that’s not scary I don’t know what is.”

Thanks for your good humor; you were right---but not any more. ;-) The great majority of subscribers do not have it set; I guess what happened is that at migration from 2.0.13 to 2.1.5 the default was _not_ applied to existing members. If anybody has a strong opinion and reasoned arguments about which way (either way) the default should be set, please write to list-manager(a)xemacs.org. Although I personally think it better if the user does the filtering by default, we can change it. I do think that our welcome message should warn about the implications for filtering, etc., if we do set it up that way. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
