All web2py emails include both the list name and (apparently) the message
counter in the subject. As the message counter auto-increments, no subjects
are truly the same and thus my 'k' key in Emacs's VM doesn't kill the entire
subject. Any chance you can get rid of the counter? I can't see that it
actually serves any useful purpose anyway.

Thanks,

Sorry to be dense, but is that some command or setting I can use to edit my
group membership? I don't see anything on web2py-users page at
groups.google.com.

Thx,

No, I'm just repeating your request.

Ah, good man. It appears the motion has been offered and seconded. There's
no stopping us now... ;-)

makes sense. I think I have done it.
