[ILUG] Quick List Question

[ILUG] Quick List Question

Probably a combination of mailman "intelligence" and PEBKAC [1]

In the first: mailman doesn't repeat subject tags, this seems to be
case-insensitive (Looks like I was right - thanks Colm)
In the second: someone is inserting the [ilug] part into their original
post, therefore getting mailman to look on it as a list ID tag.

P

[1] Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair [2]
[2] No offence to whomever is responsible is intended  ... all likeness to
persons living or dead, while possibly accurate, is pure coincidence
