Hi,
<p>I've just subscribed to the MailMan Users list. Please can someone please
help me with a couple of simple questions ?
<p>1. Can users look at the archive and reply to what they see? (I assume
they'd have to be subscribed)
<p>It seems that this is not possible ? Though just copying and pasting
the displayed subject, with a pre-pended "Re: " should do it, though you
then have to specify the destination. I was hoping for a single click 'Reply'
to give the correct 'To' and 'Subject'...
<p>I just browsed to a posting and hit 'Send Page...', I didn't get a 'To',
but the subject is almost right (needs "Re: "), and I get a URL to the
posting ... could be useful..., but no text body as per a 'reply'.
<p>I've looked at the following which are not applicable (but useful to
me in question 2) :
<blockquote>Via 'Copy link location' when looking at archive via Netscape,
and paste into this email:
<blockquote> <a href="http://www.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2000-October/007689.html">http://www.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2000-October/007689.html</a></blockquote>
While looking at a message, hit 'thread' and it takes you back to the threaded
list at the right place to copy the link location, and hence paste something
here:
<blockquote><a href="http://www.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2000-October/007692.html">http://www.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2000-October/007692.html</a></blockquote>
Only problem with these URLs is that the subject is lost, hence have to
copy that by highlighting it, and paste it here :-
<blockquote>([Mailman-Users] question about reply to. Roger
B.A. Klorese )</blockquote>
ie. like :
<blockquote> <a href="http://www.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2000-October/007914.html">http://www.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2000-October/007914.html</a>
([Mailman-Users] fixing the reply-to bug. Rob Martin )</blockquote>
</blockquote>
2. Can I assume that using URLs as above is not a feature of the particular
mailman-users archive, but is possible with the basic MailMan ?
<p>3. Does MailMan handle the hyperlinks above ...
<p>Regards,
<br>Geoff
