(Sorry if this post is a repeat. The first time I posted it, it never showed up on my computer.)
I need to set up a mailing list with the following characteristics. I'm not sure if MailMan can handle it.
- Email sent to list@domain.com. (no problem)
- List sends emails to 55 recipients. (no problem)
- Email contains name, city/state, and email address (no problem)
- Outgoing emails have several paragraphs of text pre-entered (no problem), but
- The last three lines of the outgoing message are the name, city/state, and email address. (problem)
Is there a way to have a standard amount of text as a header such that the information contained in the incoming email is appended to the header and, in fact, appears as a footer?
I have created the exact result I need except that the name, city/state, and email address appear at the head of the message, as it should.
Help!
Thanks, Mike

That sounds exactly like what the msg_header option (on the Non-digest options page) does. Put your boilerplate text there and it will appear before the body of the incoming message.

Jim:
You're right, it works fine. (Sorry, I never used it before so I overlooked it.) The problem now is, when I send to the list, the header displays correctly, but the incoming message is sent as an attachment, even though I'm sending in plain text.
Also, is there a way in the "From" line to get rid of the "On behalf of" language?
Thanks, Mike

It is probably a function of the character set of the Email and your list's default language. It looks like you are sending in iso-8859-1. Is your list's language one of those listed in Mailman/Defaults.py (as over-ridden in Mailman/mm_cfg.py) as having a charset of iso-8859-1? If it isn't, you might consider:
- over-riding the charset expected for your list language in your mm_cfg.py if appropriate
- changing your mail program's configuration to send in the "expected" charset
- loosen the restriction in Mailman/Handlers/Decorate.py on header/footer and body charset matching
Also, is there a way in the "From" line to get rid of the "On behalf of" language?
That sounds like a quirk of your mail program. (Check the FAQ.)
