[Mailman-Users] Total personalized Mails

[Frank Simon]

Hi,

Why are you so unfriendly ?   I only ask a question. There are some  
mailling software, with this features, other not. If mailman dont have  
it, no prob. Mailman is a good software, or we dont want to use it.

In a technical way - if is a feature like VERP and individuel bounce  
managment, than this have technical implications - for example, that  
the mails dont send mails as a block. If there is a block sending, than  
you have no chance to implement individual mails.

If this is the situation, its a very logic question to ask, is there a  
way to do individual content and if not, where the best point to start  
to programmed a addon.

It could be, that my bad english is a reason, to send unfriendly mails,  
but i think you have no reason too.

THis is a question from one developr to another. Or dont exist there a  
development community ?  Or is it forbidden to programmed addons to  
mailman ?  Or its impossible to get starting hints for programming  
addons ?
