[comp.lang.ada][ADMIN] comp.lang.ada mail to news gateway

[Samuel Tardieu]

This mail is targeted to the users of the mail to news gateway for
comp.lang.ada located at

    http://ada.eu.org/mailman/listinfo/comp.lang.ada

Many users have requested that I add an automatic [comp.lang.ada]
prefix to every mail sent by the gateway, so that they can distinguish
between private e-mail and mail relayed from the newsgroup.

This is now done.

And this has now been reverted :) Dirk Craeynest pointed out that this
would add this [comp.lang.ada] header to every post *in the newsgroup*
posted through the gateway, which is highly undesirable.

People willing to separate comp.lang.ada traffic from private or work
e-mail should use a real filter such as procmail (or your favourite
mail user agent filter if it has one).

You must have missed my post dated the day after, where I announce that this
has been reverted :)
