Currently the footer looks like: "_______________________________________________ scap-security-guide mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/scap-security-guide” <https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/scap-security-guide%E2%80%9D> What about something more useful? “-- [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> mailing list https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/scap-security-guide https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/wiki/Collateral-and-References” <https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/wiki/Collateral-and-References%E2%80%9D> The most important change is replacing “_______________________________________________” with “-- " “-- “ is usually interpreted by e-mail clients as “beginning of signature” and automatically stripped from replies. Take note that it is dash dash space. It would help prevent mailing list signatures from accumulating in replies like this: > [blah blah] Good idea > _______________________________________________ > scap-security-guide mailing list > [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/scap-security-guide” <https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/scap-security-guide%E2%80%9D> > _______________________________________________ scap-security-guide mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/scap-security-guide” <https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/scap-security-guide%E2%80%9D> Other links in proposed signature were picked from a recent mailing list topic. Thanks, -josh PS: This is transcribed almost verbatim from another mailing list I am on where I thought it sounded like a good idea.testing of new footer -- SCAP Security Guide mailing list [email protected] https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/scap-security-guide https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/
my email client doesn't recognize the '--' as a signature, even though it's the same characters as thunderbird uses (ref mine below). others seeing this as well?
