Seriously, I just have to ask this question. Why mark via the subject line a message as "OFF LIST" and then send it via the normal list framework. Doing so only insures that the message is actually "ON LIST" irregardless of what nomenclature is used in the subject line. If a message is truly supposed to be "OFF LIST", then why not send it directly to its intended recipient(s)? If, on the other hand, it is meant for general review by the groups members, then why mark it "OFF LIST" to begin with?
Um, wow. Like you've never intended to send someone an off-list
message, got finished typing it, then forgot to change the To: line?
Not that I am aware of and why would I put a declaration like that in the subject line if I was sending it directly to its intended recipient? In any case, I certainly would not follow it up with an "ON LIST" declaration. Admit it, it does seem rather absurd.
In any case, it makes no difference to me. I was just curious.
