Several members have stated they struggle to (or are unable to) read every message on public-html. Separating out announcements provides a way of highlighting them, so people can make sure they don't miss them. (For example, I have public-html filtering into a folder I check when I have time but public-html-wg-announce going straight to my inbox so I always see those, and in reasonable time.) > > The subscription list for public-html-wg-announce the same as for > > public-html, and both of them include P.Taylor@Rhul.Ac.Uk . > > Well, I have used SeaMonkey's "Subject or sender contains" filter to > search for all mail from "-announce" and find four messages, none of > which originate from public-html-wg-announce. public-html-wg-announce is the recipient list, not the sender; the sender will be Dan or whoever made the announcement, so that string won't be among either the subject or the sender. > But thank you for taking the trouble to check the list membership; I > appreciate that.
