Re: [Mailman-Users] Ordering of messages in the moderation queue by date?
Plenty of people wrote: I will say that for a list I run, I find the alphabetical ordering useful. All right, all right, I get it. :-) I didn't want to bug anyone or take something away from you, I just thought alphabetical sorting wouldn't be used. Apparently I thought wrong. So then let's aggree that the optimal way would be to make this switchable. jan -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://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: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
Re: [Mailman-Users] fixing a reordered archive

What's the best way to escape those lines and preserve archive order? Is it as simple as escaping the line and adding an empty From immediately after the containing message? Yes, that should do it. It did work, but I noticed that cleanarch complained about the new lines. I was a little concerned that a future admin would notice the warnings and fix them in a way that broke the archives, so I inserted lines like this: From nob...@hdfgroup.org Thu May 31 00:00:00 2007 Date: Thu May 31 00:00:00 2007 That placed the five empty messages at the very beginning of the archives where they're least likely to bother anyone. This is better than the previous location at the end of the archives, and much better than the previous problem with missing content after the unescaped From. With these changes, a fixed, reordered, and consolidated mbox, and a readme file to inform any future admins, I hope this problem won't return.

I totally second that notion. I have been thinking about this several times before, too. Would indeed be a very useful addition. OK. Since this may be more widely used, here's a question? The current summary groups all the messages from a single sender into one 'box'. If we sort the boxes[1] by time, should multiple messages from a single address be in separate, time sorted boxes or should they still be grouped in a single box, and if the latter should the boxes be time sorted by oldest or newest in the box. For my use, I want to be able to look at conversations in the order that they're happening so I can cherry pick which portions of the conversation to forward and which to reject. Seeing the messages grouped by address doesn't help me so much. I can see wanting the existing view sometimes, but when I want sorted by time, I want purely sorted by time so I can figure out what to forward and what not to. It is potentially possible that optionally sorting by subject and then by time might be cool, but I really don't need that and sometimes it might get annoying. Simplest is best for my use case. Perry [1] A proper feature would redesign the boxes, but I'm not going there, and I'm not going to think about checking in the multiple box case for conflicting checkbox options applied to the same sender. -- Perry E.
