Not really. You could put the notice in msg_header or msg_footer, but even if the list is personalized, the sender is not one of the available substitutions for these (It could be added by modifying the code in Mailman/Handlers/Decorate.py). Even if you modified the code on Decorate.py to enable a substitution for the sender in the header and footer, it wouldn't appear in the digest version of the message. I think I would do this with a generic sort of header/footer along the lines of "posts to this list are copyright by the poster..." and "mesages in this digest are copyright by the individual posters...". If you reall want a notice with the poster explicitly named in the notice, I suggest a custom handler (see <>) that would add the notice to the message body (or as a separate part as done by Decorate.py for message bodies that can't easily be added to). This way, the notice would also appear in each message in the digest (unless it was a separate part and scrubbed). However, is this even a good idea at all. What if I post something which includes significant material quoted from someone elses post and I don't preserve the copyright from that post. Or I do preserve the copyrights from the quoted material, but the attributions aren't clear. I foresee a post with material from several authors and multiple copyright notices with no clear identification of what is copyright by whom. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
