Re: [Inkscape-board] [REFERENDUM] Move inkscape-board mailing list from SourceForge to Launchpad

a. I'm not particular on Launchpad, but I really dislike SF mailing lists. To change which mailing list goes to what address (or if you get mail for it at all) you can go to this Launchpad page: https://launchpad.net/~/+editemails For me the biggest advantage of Launchpad's customizations is that I can mail a mailing list with any address that LP knows about, so if I screw up, my mail doesn't get bounced.
