Mailing Lists, also known as MailLists, are (often uncensored & unmoderated) systems of exchanging mass Email messages. The messages from validated subscribers are also archived and made available for searching.

eMail messages are addressed to the MailList and then (if from a valid subscriber) mass-forwarded to a constantly changing list of subscribers. Subscribers can opt to have individual messages delivered immediately or collated into digests delivered periodically. The validated messages are also archived and made available for searching.

The typical method of joining a MailList is by 'opt-in' (manually subscribing) or 'opt-out' (being automatically added by a data-scraper). Gramp maillist are strictly 'opt-in'.

An eMail thread is a set of email messages  that includes all the replies in direct response to a specific posted eMail message. Threads are historically reconstructed digests of the Reply sequence.

Searches of the archives may return Flat digests (all messages, sequenced be order posted), Threaded digests (all messages, sequenced a tree showing which message spawned each reply), or in snapshots (one message at a time).

Reporting bugs

The recommended way to report a bug is to use the Gramps Bug Tracker, see How to report bugs. This allows the Gramps Developers to follow a formal method of tracking and resolving your report. Due to the high volume of email that the primary developers receive, there is always a chance that an email may slip through the cracks. Using the bug tracker will make sure that your issue will be handled.

Submitting a Bug Report directly to the Gramps Bugs mailing list is not recommended. However, if you are having problems isolating a bug or suspect that your issue is a known bug, the mail-list is a forum that might help.

Requesting enhancements

Requesting an enhancement, we would prefer that serious requests get submitted to the bug tracker. This allows us to formally track the request. Create a feature request on the Gramps Bug Tracker, you switch to Project: Feature Requests on the top right corner, and select Report Issue.

Alternatively you can informally ask through the gramps-users or gramps-devel mailing lists, but as mentioned use the bug tracker to create a feature request please.
