  • ListAdmin: Is list/archive working correctly?

    From dn@3:633/280.2 to All on Sat Aug 31 08:28:19 2024
    For example, have been following the thread "Is there a better way?
    [combining f-string, thousands separator, right align]".


    Me email (only) client shows a thread of 12 messages.

    The OP was @Gilmeh Serda (from an invalid email address). That appears
    in the email thread

    @Stefan Ram has had two contributions quoted, but no such
    original-message has appeared in the thread.


    The archive is only showing seven contributions (for some reason Grant's recent contribution under the different subject line: "Formatting a str
    as a number" appears separately, even though it threads as the same conversation in email)

    None of the OP's contributions appear!


    IIRC the design has been that it doesn't matter if a contribution comes
    from the Newsgroup or the email Discussion List, they are treated the
    same. Are Newsgroup contributions being archived (were they ever)?

    Is it user-error that some contributions don't appear on the list, but
    do appear in replies, or is there perhaps some other cause?

    I see 11 messages and none from Stefan. Maybe replies to off list =
    emails?

    I also think that list/archive isn't working properly. Very little emails.
    Before, this was quite a busy list.

    I can't speak about the archives, but I can say that Stefan's posts are discarded automatically since they are opposed
    to their words showing up on the list.

    I'm posting this on the comp.lang.python Usenet newsgroup.

    Stefan Ram's posts to comp.lang.python include several header lines,
    including "X-No-Archive: Yes". I presume the software that copies comp.lang.python posts to python-list pays attention to some of those
    header lines. (I personally think it's silly to impose this kind of restriction. The Usenet group and the mailing list are both public.)

    Lawrence D'Oliveiro adds the string "(Posting On Python-List
    Prohibited)" to the subject on his articles, for reasons he has
    declined to discuss. I don't know whether the software recognizes
    that.

    Can someone who manages the list software discuss the exact
    rules? I suggest that those rules should be documented on <https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list>.
