Mailing list policy

Out of necessity we have to impose a few general rules about using the mailing lists. By subscribing and posting to the list you are assumed to accept these. While this sounds grave, in reality the policy should not stand in the way of the interested NEdit user and/or developer. However, our policy is always open to discussion

Firstly, the NEdit developers subscribe to both discuss at nedit.org and develop at nedit.org, either of which may be used for reporting bugs. If you're not sure, or you think the report might be of interest to the general nedit user community, send the report to discuss at nedit.org. If it's something obvious and boring, like we misspelled "anemometer" in the online help, send it to develop at nedit.org. If you don't want to subscribe to these lists, please use the Sourceforge tracker.

Spam

On discuss and develop the amount of spam has reached such a level that all traffic from nonmembers is summarily discarded. On announce posts are accepted from a few origins, and all other mail is discarded.

Other measures taken to reduce the risk of dubious material coming through the list are a limit of 40KB on the message body, and the removal of any attachments that are not one of the following MIME types: multipart/mixed, multipart/alternative, multipart/signed, text/plain, text/html, and application/pgp-signature, where text/html is converted to text/plain by the list software.

Cross posting

Since the developers either are subscribed to the discussion mailing list or have very good reasons not to be, please do not cross post.
