Re: [Tuxpaint-devel] New Tux Paint mailing lists

[Sam H. <sa...@pr...>]

I actually wasn't aware that the list was switched to lists.sf.net...
Bill, was there a technical reason for the switch?

Personally, I have never been a fan of the sf.net mailing lists as they
do all manner of stuff that I don't like (I am a big fan of reply-to
munging, for example, even if certain vocal opponents try to besmirch
it).
