Disabling web posting
Someone today disabled "Guest posting" for this list to turn off the
web-based posting. We cannot do this (yet). Currently this also
shuts off the ability of anyone who is not posting from the email
address assigned to their tigris.org account, and that account is
subscribed to the list. So anyone subscribed via another email
address or anyone not subscribed cannot post. It does not even go to
moderation.
There is feature in development to fix this, and specifically separate
out the settings for web posting and email. Once that is done, we
will be able to disable web posting, or just anonymous web posting
while allowing anyone, including unsubscribed users, to still email
the list.
I have re-enabled the feature in the time being.

I complained about it too, and I think Jack reported it. Not sure
where it stands.

I use Gmail which hides a lot of this weirdness. Even if I get the
second copy, it will probably not show it to me.

OK. Let's hope they get it fixed quickly.
Speaking of the mailing list software:
Are developers of the software aware of the fact that the mailing
list software seems to rewrite the From: header to the primary
email address of the tigris account when it forwards messages to the
list, regardless of which address the sender did actually put in
the From header when sending the mail? That's not really that great.
(Mark, you should get two copies of this mail, the list copy coming
from another my elego address, and the other copy from another address.)
