That's unfortunate!

My understanding was that people will learn about the vote when they
receive e-mails send directly to them.  Announcements on the mailing
list would be redundant.  Of course, I can send redundant
notifications to the mailing list, if that helps.

I do not have control of the source e-mail address, e-mails are
generated and sent by ballotbin.

I suggest always monitoring e-mail send directly to each user name, e.g.:
"To: <username>@opencsw.(...)"

Great!

The gpg vote has ended last night, I'll be sending results shortly.
