In the former case, I bet I’d never check that folder (I know I didn’t when I started auto-filtering ReactOS bug reports), and in the latter case I’d never subscribe. But, here’s a crazy idea for you. Our mailing list infrastructure permits a daily digest. What if we make standards subscribe to standards-vcs? Assuming we can somehow make it possible for list recipients not to unsubscribe the list from the list. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
