Hmmm. Makes sense. How does this list work then, it appears that the footers of this list are a stripped in replies. I imagine some people do it themselves, but is there anything used to automatically strip old footers that might appear in replies? I noticed that some of this behavior might be due to me using Thunderbird which appears to not include footers following "--" in a message. -Jim P. -- Test footer Test footer two ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
