Notification Of Blocked e-mailI'm certainly no expert on mailing lists, but I think that there is a way for the list administrator to configure the mailer so that it does not send these messages to the entire group. This is the only mailing list I've ever seen that sends all this garbage out.
We can all badmouth this email client and that email client, but it's a waste of time doing so. You are never going to convince many people to use other software or another operating system. Just not going to happen. This is just my opinion and you may not agree.

I notice that *you* haven't been convinced:
X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2180
Are you sure that *your* system isn't one of the machines sending infected mail to sites with the From address set to inkscape-user@...84...? I know my machine doesn't, because I don't run Outlook and I don't run Windows. I don't make a habit of buying from convicted criminals, and Microsoft is no exception.
No viruses here. The ISP runs a virus checker and the ISP is owned by a computer geek, so I know he's on top of it. I also run one on my machine and update it regularly.
Personally, I'm overall happy with Microsoft products. I've used other email clients and web browsers and find myself coming back to Microsoft. I don't have any problem with someone running whatever they like. Lots of people like Macs. I don't have any interest in them. But if someone wants to run one, that's fine by me. But they better not pretend that it is trouble free because I know better.
Sorry for all the OT chatter.
