cPanel has it's own mods having to do with footers and I have no idea exactly what they are or what they do, except I know that they can cause duplication of attached images in posts. See <http://forums.cpanel.net/showthread.php?t=61603> (registration required). Also see <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-February/055639.html>. >Not sure if the actual "pictures" of either actual html or just "print" with >come thru, so... What would actually be helpful would be just the contents of msg_footer. What follows talks about two things - our mailman package and MUAs. The Mailman stuff may or may not apply to cPanel. In general you can't put html tags in msg_footer and have them work as html in the message, because the footer is always inserted/attached in a text/plain part. Thus if I put <a href="http://www.sprite-midgetclub.org">http://www.sprite-midgetclub.org</a> in msg_footer, what you will see in the email is exactly what you see in this post. It may look like raw html without any 'clickable' link. It may have somm clickable part(s) which may or may not be exactly http://www.sprite-midgetclub.org. What it looks like is a function of your MUA. If I just put the URL or the URL in <> brackets as I have done with several URLs already in this post, it may or may not show as 'clickable' when you view the mail. This depends entirely on your MUA and whether or not it tries to make text that looks like a URI/URL into a clickable link. >****************************************************************************** >in this one just the 4th line comes thru as clickable and I added it just as >you can read. no "code". >_______________________________________________ >50thcommittee mailing list >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >http://sprite-midgetclub.info/mailman/listinfo/50thcommittee_sprite-midgetclub.info >http://www.sprite-midgetclub.org >********************************************************************** The MUA I'm using to read/reply to this message shows both the 3rd and 4th lines as clickable. >********************************************************************** >in this one both lines 2 + 3 come thru as "clickable".

The MUA I'm using shows no email addresses as clickable. Others do. Bottom line: You can't control what other people's MUA's are going to do. You can't put actual html tags in msg_footer. Going through contortions to make something look a certain way when YOU view it with YOUR MUA is wasted effort because it won't look the same with other MUA's. Just put plain email addresses and URIs/URLs in msg_footer; it's the only way to guarantee that everyone sees something reasonable. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
