allan:
in the earlier days of textmate, i was able to send to textmate@lists.macromates.com with a bogus address (trying to avoid spam).
that doesn't work anymore.
for the sake of those who read the archives, can you document the access restrictions to the mailing list?
either in a reply, or even better, on the community page.
would be nice to have a way to send without being subscribed, if you can think of one. a bogus subscription address that's allowed. or a magic text cookie of some sort in the body of the message (probably shouldn't be 'viagra' =).
unrelated, thank you:
a fix for the 'path of document' that's in the dictionary would work.
FYI this has been near the top of my to-do for some time now
great. and congratulations on your major award.

I don't particularly see an exact reason for doing this as the archives do not have normal email addresses listed and relatively good protection against email-collecting bots. Of course, the list does not prevent a human from reading the email and entering it into a spam database but that's the probably with any public archive. It's something we just have to accept.

That's an added step to submission to the list. I don't see a necessary reason for this. Set up a spam filtering account and use it. What I do is have one alias on my domain for all of my email lists which gets bounced through a specific gmail account also created just for this purpose.
