LYNX-DEV lynx-dev list status/problems

[Klaus Weide]

To the list maintainer (mostly):

IF AND ONLY IF this message gets accepted by lynx-dev, I have
apparently figured out why my previous messages were rejected.

Apparently I am subscribed as "address@hidden".  

This message should have "From: Klaus Weide <address@hidden>".

My previous messages, which did not go through for at least a week, had
headers  "From: Klaus Weide <address@hidden>".

I did not get any rejection notices for dropped messages.
Apparently the status (policy) of the mailing list has changed without a
definite announcement.  (I found some hints of a change in messages
etc., but they seemed to be based on speculation or observation.
So I assumed a technical problem.)

If it is true that the policy for accepting messages has changed

 - on purpose, to avoid spam and other abuse:
   Please consider changing back to the old behavior.
   There has not been sufficient agreement on the list for this
   change.
   (If there are technical reasons, please explain them.)
   - If reverting to the old behavior is rejected,
     let messages from non-subscribers at least generate some sort
     of automatic response.

 - by mistake:
   Please correct the problem.


[ I shall try to resubscribe if I see this message go through now. ]
