John Viega said it best at LISA '98 when he was giving his Mailman
|
|
talk (sorry if I'm paraphrasing): "All mailing list software sucks,
|
|
Mailman just sucks less". :-)
|
|
|
|
But I agree with the sentiment that says Mailman should be mucking
|
|
with headers as little as possible. I don't think rewriting
|
|
References: and In-Reply-to: falls under the category of "as little as
|
|
possible".
