These lists that you've mailed are for other purposes. Since you haven't added [Ambassadors] or anything of the sort in your subject, most filters will not place this email at the right places.. Hence the poor response.. #fedora or the fedoraforum would be the place for such a query. regards, Ankur -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
