Most mail lists require a subscription to post messages. This is certainly
reasonable. Even when an occasional LyX user has a question or problem and
wants help from mail list subscribers, it's not askting too much to have
them subscribe. They could always unsubscribe if they don't want to continue
receiving messages.

One apparently recent list change I'd like to see reversed is having the
Reply-To address point to the sender and the From address to the mail list.
Since it's the general practice to respond to threads by sending to the list
the default of Reply-To should be the mail list. At least, that's the way
it's always been in pine and alpine.

My $0.25 worth (taking inflation into consideration),
