The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[address@concealed]

Hi,

Currently the ``other email address'' function works like this
(correct me if I'm wrong):

 * users type in the other email;
 * these emails are saved in cookie after submittion;
 * users visit ``Your subscriptions'' page and all subscriptions show up
 * if user hit ``verify'' at the bottom, all subscriptions will be
   unified under the current email, and all other emails will be deleted

Now, what I'm facing is, the most common error for the user is
that they use two or three email accounts regularly, and they
subscribed a list with one of the email account but post messages
with the others.  If they subscribe all of their email accounts,
they will get duplicated messages(it seems).  If they unify the
subscriptions then all other email addresses will be moderated
on those closed lists, and it is extremely easy to use the wrong
email account to send messages, if you poll all these accounts
to the same client program.

What if sympa knows about these different email addresses of the
same user, permitts them the same access rights, but sends only
to the one that subscribes?  Upon unifying different subscriptions,
maybe the user can choose to keep other accounts(unifying access
rights), or to transfer the subscriptions to current account
(unifying subscriptions).
