Digest only....?

#1

I hope I did this correctly. I wanted to stop the individual messages and
get on the digest, so I "subscribed" to the no-mail version of the group,
then subscribed to the digest version. Did I do that correctly or no?
Someone send me a direct message if that was wrong 'cuz if I screwed up and
it goes to the group I may not get it... :frowning:

Technically you should have been able to skip the nomail step, but I
have had some interesting results from the email-only approach.

Hmmm. The nomail and digest things must take a while to kick in. I'm still
getting individual posts. I'll give it some time, then try it again if
necessary.

Thanks.

that's kind of what I was getting at. I had two subscriptions to this
list (two different email ids) and it took an act of compassion by one
of the moderators to remove the extra one after several weeks....

Good luck - here's hoping that the shift in receipt is faster!

I see that you are using Thunderbird:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
  rv:1.9.2.14) Gecko/20110221 Thunderbird/3.1.8

Why not just use your nntp newsreader and read/post via gmane.org?

http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/
gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.user

You are already subcribed, so in order to not keep getting emails after
connecting to gmane.org you'll need to unsubscribe and re-subscribe
using the 'no-mail' option by sending an email to:
users+subscribe-nomail@documentfoundation.org
Note: be sure to put something in the message body as many ISP's filter
the message as spam if you do not. After you've done that, see:
<http://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/Creating+a+Newsgroup+Account>
and add the newsgroup: news.gmane.org
then subscribe to gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.user
You'll then be able to click on the
gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.user
newsgroup and read all of the posts.

The first time that you wish to send a post (respond to this one for
example), you will receive a confirmation email from gmane stating:

You have sent a message to be posted on the
gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.user newsgroup.

Before the message is posted on the newsgroup, you have
to confirm that you exist. Just reply to this message, and
the message will be posted.

You have to respond within one week.

-- Your friendly autoauthorizer at Gmane.org http://gmane.org/

Respond to that email (just hit reply) and you should then get back an
email from gmane.org stating:

You are now authorized to post to the
gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.user newsgroup.

The original message you sent to the newsgroup will be
posted within ten minutes.

If you have any questions, they are most likely answered
in the FAQ: <URL: http://gmane.org/faq.php>.

-- Your friendly autoauthorizer at Gmane.org http://gmane.org/

And you're good to go.

You are assuming that an unsubscribe will actually work. So far, I
have not seen that to be the case.

I am having the same problem with the LibreOffice dev list ... had to
blacklist it in gmail with a filter

I just filed a bug on this: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34950

Hope it helps....

Feel free to pile in and add that list to the bug.

Worked for me when I first subscribed & then unsubscribed:

Hi, this is the mlmmj program managing the mailinglist

users@libreoffice.org

To confirm you want the address

<snipped>

added to the nomail[1] version of this list, please send a reply to

users+confsub-nomail-<snipped>@libreoffice.org

This confirmation serves two purposes. It tests that mail can be sent to
your address. Secondly it makes sure someone else did not try and
subscribe your emailaddress without your permission.

Your mailer may automatically reply to the confirmation address when you hit
the reply button.

The subject and the body of the mail can be anything.

[1] nomail version means that you are a subscriber to the list without
    receiving any posts to the list.

If would of course make things *considerably* easier if libreoffice used
mailman (like the dev list) rather than
http://mlmmj.org/
That way a user could easily just login to their account and turn off
the receipt of emails.

The dev list uses mailman. To unsubscribe all you need to do is log into
your account and unsubscribe:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
or change your setting preferences.

LibreOffice Subscribers
To unsubscribe from LibreOffice, get a password reminder, or change your
subscription options enter your subscription email address:

Many thanks,

NNTP is a much more comfortable route.

I am signed on there and hoping that my "users+subscribe-nomail@documentfoundation.org " has taken.

I use gmane currently and would be glad to do this, I wasn't aware that NNTP was an option when I signed on

Yes, NNTP does, but not my unsubscribe message.

Did you unsubscribe completely before resubscribing with
users+subscribe-nomail@documentfoundation.org? Meaning that you got an
unsubscribe confirmation before resubscribing?

Note: no need to CC me - I read the list.

Have you tried that? I've had better luck with this sort of email
control in the past.

Thanks for suggestion.

I find that http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
doesn't have an entry place for existing subscribers.

Please go back and re-read (above and at that site): At the very
bottom is the part where is says, "To unsubscribe from LibreOffice,
get a password reminder, or change your subscription options enter
your subscription email address:" - this is where you enter your email
address (i.e., login id) to get to the page where you can unsubscribe,
get a password reminder or change your subscription.

I'll admit that it's not a clear "UNSUBSCRIBE HERE" flag, but that's
what it means - give that a shot....
