Basically, it is discouraged for GNU lists. However,
a list which plays in the Windows environment may
constitute a special case in the GNU world; so I'd be
willing to consider some debate on this topic. To
this end, I created a poll at YahooGroups for this
issue. To vote, go to
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ntemacs-users/polls
Interestingly, I couldn't vote in the poll without first joining the Yahoo!
group. So I guess anyone can post, but only Yahoo! members can vote.
The simplified version of the question would be
"Should we change?". Personally, I voted "No" because
of tradition and because I think it would
inconvenience some folks who occasionally post from an
address different from that at which they receive.
I post from multiple addresses, and have not had a problem with other
groups. Yahoo! makes this particularly easy, since you can register
multiple e-mail addresses with your Yahoo! ID.
Another argument
against it is that this list can be read on the Web at
YahooGroups (where the 'group' is called
"ntemacs-users"); and, thus, it makes sense to post
without actually being subscribed at gnu.org.
I think anyone who can read mail at a Yahoo! site (ie, has a Yahoo! ID and
belongs to the list) can also post from that site.
