Re: Mailman-Developers digest

Hello,
Some days ago I joined the list and I wonder why the Mailman-Users list´s digest is in MIME but not the developer digest where the mails are only seperated with
--__--__--
which makes it harder to read. Who can/may change that behavior?
BTW are HTML Index Digests implemented in Mailman?

Check your subscription options. You can change your personal options to deliver either plain text or MIME, with IIRC plain text as the default.

Not sure what you mean, but IMHO HTML in email is evil! :) But perhaps I misunderstand what you're asking for?

Hello Barry,
you were right, the MIME feature was switched off. So hopefully the next digest will be in MIME.
To the html index: it is only an index in the mail you see first like:
<li><a href="#S1">A doubt on scalability....</a> (2) <li><a href="#S2">AW: Multiple servlets and a shared class</a> (2) <li><a href="#S3">REDHAT 5.2 / Apache / JServ</a>
you click and get here
<a name=S1><li>A doubt on scalability....</a><ul> <li><a href="cid:13761@JAVA.SUN.COM">Re: A doubt on scalability....</a> (07/15)<br><b>From:</b> Hans Bergsten <hans@GEFIONSOFTWARE.COM> <li><a href="cid:13772@JAVA.SUN.COM">Re: A doubt on scalability....</a> (07/15)<br><b>From:</b> Andy Bailey <abailey@CIC-NET.COM></ul> <a name=S2><li>AW: Multiple servlets and a shared class</a><ul> <li><a href="cid:13762@JAVA.SUN.COM">AW: Multiple servlets and a shared class</a> (07/15)<br><b>From:</b> "Scheiderer, Stephan" <Stephan.Scheiderer@DEBIS.COM> <li><a href="cid:13774@JAVA.SUN.COM">Re: AW: Multiple servlets and a shared class</a> (07/15)<br><b>From:</b> Andy Bailey <abailey@CIC-NET.COM></ul> <a name=S3><li>REDHAT 5.2 / Apache / JServ</a><ul> <li><a href="cid:13763@JAVA.SUN.COM">Re: REDHAT 5.2 / Apache / JServ</a> (07/15)<br><b>From:</b> "Rampas, Tomas" <Rampas@GEDAS.CZ></ul>
later with links to the mails itself like you get here:
Content-ID: <13761@JAVA.SUN.COM> Content-Type: message/rfc822
Date: Thu, 15 Jul 1999 01:04:08 -0700 From: Hans Bergsten <hans@GEFIONSOFTWARE.COM> Subject: Re: A doubt on scalability.... MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
and so on. That I think makes it very comfortable to read some but not all mails. I am not sure if you can/should create a thread list like when reading news in HTML? Listserv only sorts after Name of the Thread and the Time I think.

I was wondering... are there any plans to make it possible to create mail lists through the Web/CGI interface? (Needed for a "community" site.)

Well, it's always been on the radar screen, but no one has gotten around to it yet. That part wouldn't be such a big deal, but the whole site admin UI we'd like to see would take quite a bit of work. If you have the time and inclination to hack something together to make this possible, please post a patch here.
