Hi,

I read and sometimes post to this mailing list, but I very much prefer to use a newsreader from gmane rather than receiving all the mails.

In the old linux-dvb mailing list it was possible to switch off receiving all the emails, is it still possible?

I could not find anything in the documentation of [email protected]

Any help?

The [email protected] list is not subscriber-only like the old list. You could just unsubscribe.

Thanks.
But gmane returns a wrong information then

================================================================================
You have sent a message to be posted on the gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure newsgroup.

This is a non-public mailing list, which means that you have to subscribe to the list to post to it. If you're already subscribed to the list, Gmane can forward the message you sent to the list if you respond to this message. If not, you should sign up to the mailing list first, and then respond to this message, or just forget about it.

Many mailing lists have an option to subscribe to a list, but then put it in 'nomail' mode, which means that you won't receive any mail from the list.

The mailing list software used for the list in question is majordomo.

Mail [email protected] and say 'subscribe linux-media'. You have to respond within one week.
