This way when a non-subscriber posts something, he doesn't have to add the "Please CC me as I'm not in the mailing list"; it will happen automatically.
I couldn't disagree more.
Posting to the list: If someone wants to benefit from a list, the least that he/she should do is subscribe. I delete systematically any email with "please cc me as I'm not subscribed to the list".
And that attitude is going to make new linux users who have questions feel unwanted on the list! The Fedora lists are VERY active and all those posts can be somewhat intimidating to linux newbies
Newbies are welcome but should subscribe like anyone else. When I started using and supporting Solaris, I subscribed to lists where I neither understood the question nor the answers...
