Re: Why don't I get fters added to message?

Roman,

   I've found the same problem in my lists. It seems that Majordomo 
is getting confused with the first blank line defined in the footer.

In the initial comments of a list's config file, there is:

> # Within a here document for a string_array, the '-' sign takes on a
> # special significance.

     The solution seems to be putting a "-" in the first (blank line),
like:

message_footer      <<  END
-  
... (text) ...
END

    Regards,
