Then it occurred to me that past behavior, in our case for example where python-list gates to/from comp.lang.python and python-announce-list gates to/from comp.lang.python.announce that one could post by email to only say python-list with a 'Newsgroups: comp.lang.python,comp.lang.python.announce' header, the post would be gated to the news server for both groups, and the next time the news server is polled the post would come back for both lists and be posted to python-announce-list (python-list would be bypassed because of X-BeenThere:).
Note: that this scenario may or may not have 'Message-ID:' issues, but assuming it works, my question is is this scenario a feature that people actually use that I would break by only putting comp.lang.python in the Newsgroups: header of posts gated from python-list or is it potentially a bug that should be fixed.
Does anyone have an opinion on this?
I'm not aware of anybody using this, but I agree with your original decision. I don't think users should count on this accidental workflow.
