I would think that Warren and Co. would need to send out an email when
they added new topics.
I believe they are on Mailman, but I have little
experience with running
it.
Yep.
Mailman does have an option to "Receive all messages that don't match
any topic." or some wording like that. So I think that if people set
that, then they would only miss out on messages that touched on a topic
that they opted to not receive.
On one list I use, a predecessor of it used to require
a subject tag in
the form [Blah] (taken from a set of known tags); I've always hated
that, but I'm still in the habit of putting my own tag there as a hint.
Yes, that's Mailman's default. However, it's relatively easy to have
Prcomail (et al.) process the message before it goes into Mailman and
scan the message body for keywords and add them to a user defined header
that Mailman looks at. Thus, people don't need to include the topic in
the subject.
This is the make technology work for me (us) that I believe in so much. :-)
