I don't believe that's sufficient. The majority of the "unskilled" questioners won't know about news Groups or Gmane. They *might* be persuaded to subscribe to a forum but "ungated" e-mail would be the best if we can find a way whereby responders don't have to go through hoops to ensure their replies get to the OP.On 2010/10/20 11:40 AM Charles Marcus wrote:On 2010-10-20 12:32 PM, Larry Gusaas wrote:Gmane has most of the Document Foundations lists (except developer and announce) set as public.

They likely will get rid of LibreOffice if they perceive that they can't get help. Very unprofessional.So someone just needs to get the list changed to non-public... :)Or allow posts to this list from people who have subscribe through Gmane to be posted to the list without having to double subscribe.
Can the Reply-to header not be fixed (by the list manager software or by an associated script) to include the OP if that OP is not subscribed?
