Hi,

sometimes the posts are not answered at all, either because there is no interest, or because the post is lost between the others.

I would like to know if it is a good idea to PING the ML when there is no answer at all to a post.

I've done it several times in the past and got no reprimand from the moderators, so I guess it's OK to do it with some restraint.

...

If yes, how and when this PING must be done?

Repost the entire mail and add a [repost] prefix to the subject line.

Thanks Joaquin to answer to a post that could stay with no answer for a long time. I'll do as you suggest, Vicente
