I need to set up a mailing list with the following characteristics. I'm not sure if MailMan can handle it.
1. Email sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (no problem) 2. List sends emails to 55 recipients. (no problem) 3. Email contains name, city/state, and email address (no problem) 4. Outgoing emails have several paragraphs of text pre-entered (no problem), but 5. 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!
