Richard had posted this a few days ago, also copying several other
addresses. As one of the mechanisms to reduce junk mail on the list,
copying more than a few non-list addresses will trigger the posting being
sent to me instead of the list. Normally I will just approve the post and
let it go, but in this case Richard had attached the information from Betsy
in the form of an attached Word document. Because that isn't a universally
readable form, I suggested that he save it as HTML before reposting it.
Postings to the list won't normally go to me for approval (Richards second
post went to you all directly) - only if they trigger one of the anti-spam
rules (over a maximum size, or from an address that is not subscribed to the
list are the other major ones).
The goal of these is to help make this a useful group that doesn't add to
the amount of junk in our mailboxes, but they will occasionally get in the
way - since all the triggers go to me, I'll keep an eye on whether they need
to be made more permissive. Feel free to let me know if you have an
opinion, either privately or on the list.
