Re: OFFTOPIC Re: [Mailman-Users] Archive URL in postings (2.1b3)
The problem with personalization in the To: header is that I can't tell if email is to me or just to the list.
Be careful here in distinguishing limitations and models of your MUA as problems with external systems. The fact that you MUA exposes specific features and the manner you take advantage of them is something between you and your MUA and has little to do with Mailman.
So if Mailman decides to change the Subject: header to "What this message is about:", transcribe the addresses in the To:, Cc:, and From: fields into EBCDIC and reverse the local part and the domain, and put all the headers at the bottom of the message instead of the top, would my beef be with my mail reader for not displaying that properly?

As someone who spent time on the college debate team, I feel it necessary that sometimes an extreme case is useful to illuminate the edge conditions you need to worry about in an issue.
And sometimes it's just silly and petty.
