Do you think it is going to change all of the Suse lists, and millions of email successfully passing through these lists on any given day.

What I am seeing so far is someone on a rant. I suggest you really read the archives where this has been discussed ad nauseam over the years, many times.

Why, do you have that much time to waste as to harp on such a mundane issue? Why do you think anyone has to defend "this policy?" This is the way it is, it will not change, nor will you change it for this list, or any EZMLM driven mail list. You have two choices, we all have choices, either change email clients or find another list to your liking. /dev/bitbucket. -- Gary
