X-List-Post-Archive-URI: ?
by Adam McGreggor 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

I'm wondering how easy it would be to inject (before delivery, but having gone through/during processing by Mailman) an header based something around X-List-Post-Archive-URI: -- the idea being a unique URI (permalinkable) for each message, for each list, that has archiving enabled. My initial thought is to use the message's Message-ID as the header to use, prefixed with URI-to-list-archive: e.g., for Message-ID: <20090406133924.GE18880(a)amyl.org.uk> sent to the list 'hummm' and lists.example.org, using pipermail (and a public archive): X-List-Post-Arhive-URI: <http://lists.example.org/pipermail/hummm/20090406133924.GE18880@amyl.org.uk> Admitedly, these aren't the shortest URIs, but there are services for shrinking those. The reason I'm thinking of this is because I can't always be bothered hunting through the web-archive to send a link to a list-post: shoving it in the headers would be quite useful, I'd imagine. Any thoughts from others on (a) stupidity/value (b) ease of doing; (c) desire from other list-admins/list-users; (d) being bothered to code it ? -- ``Many people would sooner die than think. In fact, they do.'' (Bertrand Russell)

Putting the FAQ link in with error messages?
by Terri Oda 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

We often *have* the answers in the FAQ, people aren't always finding them there, often because it hasn't occurred to them to look. I was mentioned this to the last person who I helped with a Mailman problem, and he offered this brilliant suggestion: Why don't we print the FAQ (or at least the wiki link) with error messages generated by mailman? Just a quick "For more information on this error, consult the documentation at http://wiki.list.org/x/Bw" or something along those lines. I know, it's another line of work for the translators, and it won't solve the problems that aren't heralded by error messages, but hopefully it'll result in more people actually finding the information they need on their own!

Inserting content to an html message (aka: unsubscribe link).
by Asaf 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Hello Is anyone working on the subject ? can anyone suggest approaches, I'm pretty new to mailman's code I know the its considered impossible, and that html messages are considered bad, but there is no other way to format, for example , bidi languages in non-html emails, and listserv, for example, can embed link (e.g : unsubscribe) in the footer of an html message (AFAIK) I'd like to implement this, I think it shouldn't be that hard, and would work in most cases. -- Asaf Ohaion Lingnu Open Source Consulting Ltd. http://www.lingnu.com
