Public bug reported:
I frequently find myself subscribing to a list for the sole purpose of
ensuring I can post to that list, since it only allows posting from
members. I often read those (high-volume) lists via the archives only,
as well as threads that CC me. Thus, I want to set the nomail flag.
Often I end up doing so for multiple subscriptions to the same list with
a few different email addresses.
Currently, the process for doing that looks something like this: Type in
my name and email address, hit subscribe, wait for confirmation mail,
confirm subscription, wait for subscription confirmation mail, go back
to web form, copy/paste password, log in, check nomail, delete the
handful of unwanted emails that arrived in the meantime. Repeat for
every list I want to subscribe to, and every email address I want to
post from.
I'd like to have a way to set the "nomail" flag right from the
subscription form. That would simplify the process significantly; I'd
still have to confirm the subscription, but I wouldn't need to bother
logging in and setting the flag, and I wouldn't receive unwanted emails
from high-volume lists.
