Mailing list administration

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Ahh, cool.  The web-interface does sound better to me anyway.  Dealing with multiple messages all at once rather than on a per-message basis sounds more efficient.  I've not seen it though so i can't really judge.  However it does sound like we are somewhat stuck with it so lets give it a bash and see how it goes?  


Errr, wrt command-line there is always the elinks and other text-based web-browsers.  I sometimes use them over ssh when i need to ssh into work and check printers, the router and stuff.  It's a  tad weird but more efficient on a slow connection than Vpn would be (i think)
Regards from 
Tom :)

>Unfortunately it's not that simple as this is a shared mailing list server for all Ubuntu mailing lists, if you look at the main page [1] there are hundreds of lists. By all means make the suggestion to maintainers of the list [2] but it's not something that can be switched on and off overnight and from what I can work out not by anyone in charge of this list alone. I do recall one of the other moderators on the largest list on the server mentioning something about a command line tool that interfaces with the web for "easy" moderation but personally I've never had a need and can't seem to find the link.

The rest is people with large attachments or people that aren't subscribed, there is rarely any need to "moderate" discussion on any of the lists I'm on as the Ubuntu community is generally well behaved.
