[GNC] Banking Account - Imported QIF data and Opening Balances

"....since Quicken doesn’t support batch 
reconciliation/un-reconciliation...."

Quicken definitely supports batch (un)reconciliation, but using classic 
multi-select functionality in the OS (click first line, ctrl-click more 
lines, right-click then Reconcile Status > Unreconcile). It doesn't, as 
far as I know, support e.g. unreconciliation of a specific previous 
reconciliation event.

As far as I know, there's no simple way to do this in GnuCash. One has 
to resort to setting up a filter to show only the relevant transactions, 
and then using a keyboard macro recorder :-(

PS: GnuCash has a little-known but helpful reconciliation report built 
in, but until now this report has been partially broken. There's a fix 
in the next release, I believe. In the meantime, if it's important the 
new scheme code for the report can be swapped into a 5.x installation, 
or I expect one can use the nightly build version.

Quicken has a month-by-month reconciliation (called “Prior Statements”) which is still better than transaction-by-transaction un-reconciliation but not as good as batch-processing would have been. I was just looking for the way that required the least time and effort.

(yes, Mailman does have a feature that is supposed to suppress the list-generated message if it sees you in the "To" section also, but my experience is that rarely works properly) If users have turned off receiving the list entirely, they can go to the archives to read it.
