Hello, I've searched the archives, the FAQ and google and couldn't find the answer to this question. So, any help is appreciated.
I'm moving our lists from Majordomo to Mailman and have set up a test list where I've sent some test messages from several different e-mail accounts. I have the following configuration options set: General: Where are replies to list messages directed? Poster is strongly recommended for most mailing lists. This list Privacy: Hide the sender of a message, replacing it with the list address (Removes From, Sender and Reply-To fields) No When I look at the archives on the web, if the "From:" field in the test.mbox file is in the format of "Poster Name" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or else Poster Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>then Poster Name is displayed as the Author. If the "From:" field is in the format of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (this is how I've seen the headers from my AOL account) then the Author is the list e-mail address. When I look at the archived message in either case, the e-mail address of the author is the list e-mail address. If I change the "Reply-To:" option from "This List" to "Poster" then the author in the archives html file is the actual author, not the list, and the author's e-mail address is given. Since this is a discussion list, it's useful to have the "Reply-To:" option set up as "This List." The archive of this list is private and subscription needs to be authorized. It would be useful for our users to see who actually wrote something, rather than the listname in the author field. E-mail works fine, it's just the archives, which my users really want, that are confusing me. Thanks for your help. -Susan ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py
