I had always thought it was not appropriate to forward individual email to a list without permission, but I haven't heard objections before to things going from one list to another. Emails go back and forth between CPAKayaker, NYCKayaker, and Paddlewise with some regularity. >From my perspective, once I've posted something to a list I have no idea who got it anyway, so I don't think I'd mind it being forwarded to another list. What do others think?
