Mailman Admin Request Error?
Mailman seems to be a little out of sync with my list. I keep getting messages to tend to subscription requests that have already been filled. I suspect that something went awry when I manually subbed the names (via "mass subscribe"), instead of going through the administrative request interface. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Or can shed any light on potential solutions? Thanks.

Is there any way to suppress those "List*" headers. One of the people on my mailing lists is complaining that they seem to be forcing his email to be HTML. (He uses Eudora.)

It would be very helpful to have the FAQ more visable on the home page.

Actually, just not having a file in the source distribution called "FAQ" which is different from this FAQ would be a good start.

I don't see Eudora forcing my mail to be HTML because of the List* headers. But I'm speaking of the Macintosh version; the Windows version could well do something foolish like that.
[I have Eudora...both platforms...set to send plain text mail and to prompt me if I foolishly try to send HTML (by forgetting to hold down Shift when I paste styled stuff in, for example). The default in the prompt is plain text. I don't remember deliberately sending HTML except as a test.]
Eudora is a nuisance with respect to the List* headers, since it just displays them. It's "easy" to shut off the display (I keep List-Post: and suppress the others), on either platform. But it's only easy for a Eudora user who has done it before. Given that Qualcomm was rather deeply involved in the relevant RFC, it seems odd that they haven't started handling List* headers sensibly. [But perhaps it's not at all odd to an insider who does Qualcomm budgets.]

Its quite easy to do. You edit one file - please backup the file before you edit it!: ~mailman/Mailman/Handlers/CookHeaders.py
headers = { 'List-Id' : listid, 'List-Help' : '<mailto:%s?subject=help>' % requestaddr, 'List-Unsubscribe': subfieldfmt % (listinfo, requestaddr, 'un'), 'List-Subscribe' : subfieldfmt % (listinfo, requestaddr, ''), 'List-Post' : '<mailto:%s>' % mlist.GetListEmail(), }
Feel free to delete any of the lines inside the "headers" clause, but I would recommend that you leave 'List-Id'.
BTW: I strongly feel that this should be in the FAQ, even though I fully agree that the problem is with the Mail client (the MUA) and not with Mailman.
