Hmmmm... Okay. That's one half of the deal. The other is that you're not
filtering on content. Which I think you should. This list should not be
seeing anything but text/ascii, certainly not HTML or similar bloat. I'm
subscribed to *many* lists, but this one is not only high volume but
also high bloat. I understand that having Microsoft users on a technical
list *is* a problem, but stripping all MIME and multipart-alternative
would make a difference.

Trust me, I know what you're talking about.

Beg pardon? http://lists.zope.org is a redirect to
http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo which, in turn, leads straigt to
all the lists. I mean, hey!, thanks for running the lists, using them is
a privilege and I'm really glad they're there - I was only drawing
your(?)  attention to the fact that a 7 line sig is... big?  long?
uncool? I'll just shut up now.
