Either would suffice, I suppose, to at least narrow the possibility of
error. Whose actually in charge of the lists, anyway? It would be nice to
hear a response to these proposals, even if they're to say, "no" and give a
good reason why not.

But as long as the list is called 'ipaq@handhelds.org' -- with no hint of a
Linux or even an open-source focus in the list title itself -- we're going
to be plagued with WinCE newbies thinking this is an even more general iPAQ
list. And as long as the list is general to linux on iPAQ, we'll continue to
see crossposting, or misposting of questions better directed to familiar@,
or intimate@. IMO, of course.
