It's been thought of, and it's just plain hard to do, because automatically editing mail bodies robustly is just plain hard to do. If you have a vast majority of users who use the same MUA, you can probably get away with assuming that MUA's format, and will rarely, if ever, get complaints from users whose mail has been mutilated. Given the variety and generally abysmal level of standard conformance of the MUAs out there, we can't count on that. :-( > "apply footer only if footer text not already in message" would be > my logic of preference. If there is any personalization (eg, user-specific unsubscribe link), this logic doesn't work. You need to remove the existing footer(s) for other user(s), and add the correct one. If you're not using any personalization, this isn't a problem, of course. It's also ugly, as in most cases the replying user's MUA will quote the footer, often multiple times. The "first in thread" logic has the same problems of personalization and ugliness. > If that's not already something mailman can do, where would I modify the > code to add it? Mailman/Handlers/Decorate.py. Warning: Mailman 2 doesn't know anything about threads, and Mailman 3 (unmerged development code) has a rather different idea of threads (called "dynamic lists", "dlists" for short). So you'll have to use the "detect existing footer" logic, not the "first in thread" logic. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
