Using undisclosed recipients on a mailing list sucks, because it renders standard filters useless. I filter on "discuss at blu.org" and "discuss-digest at blu.org" in both the "To" and "CC" fields. If people insist on doing this, then the mailing list needs to do something to enable msg filtering, perhaps automatically prepending to the subject line a string useful for filtering, e.g., "Blu.Org", etc., however this is undesirable since it wastes line space. How else might this problem be solved? I move that the practice of using undisclosed recipients on this list be banned, and implemented in the rules for the mailing list processing of msgs, so that humans don't have to keep going through this sort of thing. Would someone please second this motion? Thanks. John - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
