Just to add to this.  We don't control Nabble, and indeed nobody here
has any ties to Nabble.  The gnucash mailing list is just that, a
mailing list, and as such senders must be subscribed in order for posts
to get sent through.  People who are not subscribed directly to the list
will get put into the moderator queue.  Members of Nabble are no
exception, as we have no ties to nabble, and nabble has no special ties
to us.  As far as the list is concerned, nabble is just another mail
forwarder; access to the list is still per the gnucash mail server
subscriber list.

If you don't want your posts moderated then subscribe directly to the
list.

If you don't want to receive email then after you subscribe you can tell
the list not to send you email by turning off message delivery for your
account.

If you remain unsubscribed then expect your posts to remain moderated.
