I probably missed that email. Normal volume on qt-interest seemed pretty 
high - I didn't notice a really big drop-off myself. A lot of people 
were cross-posting, which is probably why I thought it was automatic. I 
don't think anyone suggested that it was (nor do I feel my response was 
"surprised"). Heck, I was still sending to qt-interest at trolltech.com, 
and that was still working (that one I am surprised by).

Like I said before, a lot of people are still using the old addresses. 
Just shut them down. Then the ambiguities will go way.
