I wanted to start on a high-volume list to see the impact. But looking 
at the replies, I think we should indeed vary from list to list. For 
discuss@ maybe it is not desired...

Anyways, which lists would you like to start trying it on?

IMHO that causes lots of problem. I see myself purging files from the 
archive because people did not know they were posting in public. And I 
see moderators moderating lots of messages... both not desirable. ;-) 
But maybe I'm exaggerating here, and giving it a try definitely shows 
the results, so let's do it.

I will adjust my filters soon, because getting replies in the inbox 
instead of in the list folder is annoying. But, ah, I think there is no 
real ideal solution to things. :)
