[snip] this is the reason why I don't subscribe.  Just too much flooded your 
way.  Setting up a per user regexp would be the best solution (for me).  That 
way someone with * would get everything like it is nwo, but somone else that 
only worked on KPaint could have only that in their regexp and then they 
would only those e-mails.  This way we can keep the single mailinglist, but 
developers can trim down what the server sends them saving time/bandwidth.  
Of course if something like this isn't even feasible, never mind :)
