Re: [Freeciv-Dev] CVS stuff

[Dee Jay Randall <randal@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  If I recall from delet^H^H^H^H^Hreading them, the cvs messages
have a distinct subject line. (If I'm wrong, I'm sure the maintainer
would be able to make it distinct.) If the messages really bother a
few people, they can figure out how to configure their mail reader
to filter them out automatically. In that case, leave them in.

  The only reasons I can think of for leaving them out would be
volume concerns. They add to both the volume of the mailing list
and the volume of the archives (unless they are being filtered
before archival).

  Either way, I think most people don't care. I don't mind.
