question regarding confirmation
Aviram Carmi wrote:
the confirmation message when a user received when they join, says to
"simply reply to this message, keeping the Subject: header intact."
however, replying to the message, by default ads "Re:" to the subject which caused the confirmation to be rejected by mailman. see below.
Replying again, after removeing the "Re:" worked, and I got the "welcome" message.
Shouldn't mailman be smarter and recognize the "Re:"?
I'll bet that most users will just hit "reply" which (at least on my email client Eudora 5.2.1 under MacOS 9.2.2) adds an "Re:" to the subject line.
I'm running the same version of Eudora under Windows, and do not have this problem. Either something else is happening when your reply is sent, or something is configured wrong on the Mailman end.

I just tried the same test using Eudora under OS X and it worked fine despite the "re:" I also tried it leaving the white space and the "reply" character at the beginning of the confirm line and it also worked fine. I don't have a classic OS Eudora to try it with.

Hmm.... I either have something weird with my mailman configuration, or I messed up the original confirmation.
let me try to subscribe myself again, and I'll let you know.
Thanks,
