Category: Web/CGI Group: 2.1 alpha Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: jidanni (jidanni) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Mass Subscriptions names Initial Comment: Today we look at members/add, Mass Subscriptions. Please change "Enter one address per line below..." to "Enter Bob Clodsworth <blob@example.com> or just blob@example.com, one per line:" Else no one can guess how to get names in. P.S., with site language = English, don't dream of entering and UTF-8 or &# 31309 ; stuff. You'll get an error. ASCII is assumed, dangnabit! ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1971011 Originator: YES Yes it's on http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.044.htp but that's no excuse not to mention it on the page itself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: jidanni (jidanni) Date: 2008-01-23 04:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1971011 Originator: YES Holy moly, on the Mass Subscriptions page, if you leave the notify administrator box checked, it _really does_ send one notification for EACH subscriber! Subscribe 50 people, and the administrator gets 50 EMAILs about it, not just one email with the results about all 50 names. Who knows what pleasure is in store on the mass delete page. You have my permission to split this off into a separate bug. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: jidanni (jidanni) Date: 2008-01-23 04:29 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1971011 Originator: YES By the way, on the mass subscription page, if one puts addresses both in the entry box, and in the contents of the file to be read in, one ends up with at least one garbled address... do warn or catch or say on the page that it's OK to use both, then process correctly. I did not test the mass deletions page. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: jidanni (jidanni) Date: 2008-01-19 14:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1971011 Originator: YES And even with site language zh_TW, on the mass subscription results page one sees UTF-8 becomes: * 積丹尼 <jidanni@jidanni.org> though apparently internally it is still UTF-8 at evidenced on other pages. P.S., the zh_TW 'send me my passwd' email sends raw % mess: 我們歡迎任何問題或建議 ! 請 email 給 %(adminaddr)s. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1874279&group_id=103
