Re: Transitional Programme | A Transition to Nowhere | Prometheus

Re: email delivery tip for new marxmail subscribers
If I edit a post I wrote, does a new message go out to everyone? Sometimes I notice I missed an apostrophe (for example) and I fix it, but I won't do that if a new email gets sent.
