[Mailman-Users] preventing mailto and http links in archives, trimming hotmail footers etc.
Is there a setting to turn off the mailto and URL embedding of links in the web archive of list mail? I have added the anti-spam harvesting patch, and these are less than useful now. Also, I noticed the email addresses have a superfluous underscore prepended to them in the archives (e.g., [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) ). Is that a common bug, and where might I track that down? Finally, is there a patch or setting to kill the common footers that some mailers (like Hotmail) append to their outgoing emails? For example, aol generously adds the footer below: ...Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at... etc. Any way to automatically trim the most common of these before they get to the subscribers and archive?

Thanks :o) I have made some progress on this issue, apparently the antispam patch was munging a variable for the list name or URL, and instead of looking for the actual list archive named clist I was testing, it looked for list. It seems to be taking the first letter off the list name, and thus for a list entitled events was showing in my error log as Private archive file not found: /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/vents/ Admittedly I can't program much Python, but any idea where I might look for the mangling of this list name in the private.py script (I don't think it's from the rewrite rule the patch had me insert in the httpd.conf file)?

[Mailman-Users] Passing the list name to the cgi scripts, called with backticks in Perl
Hello, In order to utilize my site's dynamic header, footer, banner ad programs, etc., I am generating the mailman HTML enveloping content with a Perl script, and calling mailman's cgi scripts, as appropriate, using a shell command. Example below: $listinfo_output = `/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo`; Note backticks to invoke this script from the shell in my Perl script. This successfully loads the variable $listinfo_output with the output from the mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo command, from there I can print or extract content from the HTML as useful. My problem is, to get any list-specific output from the mailman/cgi-bin/* scripts, I need to be able to pass the listname to the script - and I can't figure out how to do this with the shell command. If I follow the standard syntax from the web (e.g. `/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/somelist`) the shell looks for a non-existent program in the non-existent listinfo directory (listinfo is, of course, a script). Using the scheme outlined above, how can I pass the listname to the various cgi-bin scripts from mailman to capture their list-specific output for customized pages? I do realize there are templates for customizing the HTML, but these are not useful for server side include files and scripts, on which my site depends heavily.

This worked:
$ENV{'PATH_INFO'} = /somelist;
$listinfo_output = `/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo`;
Thank you so much! :oD
