Re: CVS Email List Status

[David Trott]

Sorry if I am stating the obvious here, but don't all messages that are sent
to the distribution list also go to the news group gnu.cvs.help ?
I haven't bothered subscribing to the list I just read the messages on the
newsgroup and post to address@hidden
That way I don't see any duplicates and it threads all the messages nicely.

If this is the case you can unsubscribe from this list.
