&gt; &gt; Sven, or whoever is current admin, do you have a way<br>

&gt; &gt; I think it is very useful to save, one way or<br>
&gt; &gt; another we *must* save it, because there are<br>
&gt; &gt; many good examples and insights in the content.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; my current SEDUSERS folder contains 3,100+ messages.<br>
&gt; starting June 2005. so there&#39;s this backup.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; Sven, or whoever is current admin, is there another platform<br>
&gt; &gt; we might migrate to? Or stick with email-only group? Or other<br>
&gt; &gt; preferred course of action? Any other thoughts or reflections?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; i had registered the domain sedusers.org exactly for this purpose.<br>
&gt; (by the way, maillists at my ISP (in-berlin.de) run on mailman.)<br>
&gt; the address of the list would simply be [email protected]<br>

&gt; one of the open questions of this transition was whether we<br>
&gt; migrate all users onto a new list forcibly - or let them<br>
&gt; decide whether they want to subscribe again to it themselves.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; planC would be to simply auto-subscribe those who<br>

&gt; and simply drop the rest. maybe those have been<br>
&gt; too lazy to unsubscribe, anyway. ;-)<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; the new mailing list would definitely have these features:<br>
&gt; NO &quot;reply-to: list&quot;, and NO default footer/signature, and<br>
&gt; NO attachments (also dropping text/html along the way).<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; the rationale is that a reply-to-list might yield replies<br>
&gt; which are actually meant for private communication, and<br>
&gt; the result is usually from embarassing to catastrophic.<br>
&gt; besides, your mailer *should* have a command reply-to-list<br>
&gt; (based on the addresses in the List-* headers).<br>
&gt; this is the 3rd millennium, after all.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; besides, the moderation for first time posters has saved<br>
&gt; this list a TON of spam. and i would keep this as it is.<br>
&gt; thanks to Ruud van Tol for helping me with the moderation.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; i would also restrict the size of messages to, say, 10KB.<br>
&gt; my statistics over the years have shown<br>
&gt; that 97% of all messages were under 5KB.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; this also stops messages with TOFU<br>
&gt; (text over (above), full-quote under).<br>
&gt; as these pile up quite quickly. this has<br>
&gt; worked quite well for quite some other lists.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; as usual, i ask you all to strip yahoo&#39;s default<br>
&gt; footer from responses as everything that isn&#39;t<br>
&gt; necessary for a response, eg quoted signatures.<br>
&gt; this helps for smaller messages and a usable archive.<br>
