I will proceed to post as long as it suits me.  I have not done
anything more than participate in a valid technical discussion about
ruby-talk list serve settings.  I'm not even the original poster.  I
am merely describing a behavior I see with a very popular email
service and mail client.  If that bothers you then procmail yourself a
filter out of my world.

If it makes people complain more than a couple of times then it's a
bad default setting.  It doesn't matter that people can change it,
multiple questions/complaints should have already made it evident a
change was needed.  If the server admins disagree then they are only
going to hear more questions and complaints ongoing.

Your words, not mine.  I don't post enough to care either way.

Well goody goody for you.  More bandwidth and server space for me and mine.
