Hi,

As promised, I have completed the preference related commands and pushed it as revision 60 [1].

The preferences form a new scope, along with user, domains and lists. There are 2 commands associated with the preference scope.

1.Show Preference

./mmclient show preference [scope] [scope_args] [key]

That is, to view a preference of a list member

./mmclient show preference member --email a@b.com --list list@domain.org receive_own_postings

2. Update Preference

Similar to the above command

./mmclient show preference [scope] [scope_args] [key] [value]

./mmclient show preference member --email a@b.com --list list@domain.org receive_own_postings true

The supported preference scopes are

global [2] user --email address --email member --email --list

Also, the command scope resolution code in cmdparser.py, which was repeated once per scope, has been replaced with a better and faster approach.

Footnotes:

[2] Upon updating/editing the global preferences, a HTTP Error 405 : Method not allowed is raised. I tried as sudo but still no good. Is that a mailman bug or a design decision?
