First of all, it is a very bad idea to put the user's password in this footer. User's are very careless about not removing footers and signatures from replies and forwards of messages. With a footer as above, you will have users posting their passwords back to the list. Even if it is an announce only list, they will still forward their passwords elsewhere. Second, the address to which to send the unsubscribe command is %(list_name)s-requ...@%(host_name)s, not %(list_name)s...@%(host_name)s. Third, the footer is always in a text/plain part so URIs are not necessarily recognized as such or rendered as "clickable" by various MUAs (mail clients). There's little you can do about that, but putting the URI in <> brackets may help. E.g. <mailto:%(list_name)s-requ...@%(host_name)s?subject=unsubscribe>. Also, simply mailing to the -leave or -unsubscribe address will also work. E.g., <mailto:%(list_name)s-unsubscr...@%(host_name)s>. Further, It is redundant to put and unsubscribe command in both the subject and the body of a message to -request. Both will be processed, and the first will result in a confirmation request email even if the second succeeds. If you really insist on including the users password, and you want it in the body and not the subject, I suggest <mailto:%(list_name)s-requ...@%(host_name)s?subject=commands&body=unsubscribe%%20%(user_password)s>. Note the %%20. The % is doubled so Mailman's interpolation will convert it to a single %, and you need %20 instead of a space because space will terminate the URI. Finally, note that %(user_password)s only works if the list is personalized. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
