The problem is she's probably using Eudora, which improperly displays the

I'm using Eudora here, and I don't have a problem.

Perhaps she's using an older version, as I'm using version 6.

Might be an idea if this person Charlie is talking about, updates to a more 
recent version ?

 We're looking for a real life answer, not a perfect world one.

I can't imagine that Mailman would be the only offender that your 
corporate people would complain about, and once you fix Mailman, what 
do you tell them about all the other bazillion places on the Internet 
that do the same thing?  If you fix this one thing, they're going to 
expect you to fix everything else, too.
Perhaps someone out there could put together a list of very specific bugs 
with Microsoft lookOut and lookOut Express, in a bug report format, and 
then place it online somewhere so that we could all direct our clients to. 
This way the client can then post an appropriate BUG report to microsoft in 
order to get them to fix up their buggy clients.

All the Admins in the world can't do much, but if all our clients report 
via an appropriate looking BUG report format, then they can not simply 
ignore their BUGS anymore.

Perhaps a better option would be to see if there is a way to 
modify Outlook so that it doesn't do this kind of stupidity, or to use 
the built-in scripting features to change this header to something else.
Not a good idea, as it will cause client troubles down the track.

Keep their clients as 'standard' as possible, because a little bit of 
knowledge can be a very dangerous thing in the hands of some of our 
customers !!!  :-)

What is wrong with this idea, is that it means Mailman is going against the 
RFC that it currently obeys, to work with something that is broken.

What should happen is get the broken package fixed, rather than make a 
unbroken package broken.

[Mailman-Users] ezmlm to mailman

2003-12-29 Thread Brendan Pratt
Just in the process of moving some lists across to mailman from ezmlm , and 
can't seem to find an easy way of doing it.

I think I've found something that'll bring them in from a .mbox file, but 
these are currently in a Maildir/ format.

Anyone got an easy way to convert them across ?

Thanks !!

[Mailman-Users] NOOB !

2003-12-28 Thread Brendan Pratt
Just installed Mailman, and being such a noob, I can't seem to work out how 
to utilise the add_members script correctly.

./add_members [EMAIL PROTECTED] listname

It complains that I haven't used one of the -r or -d options, and that's 
where I am not clear as to what filename/paths I should be using.

Could somebody hit me with an appropriately sized 'clue stick' ??  :-)

Thanks.

Usage:
add_members [options] listname

== Even bigger clue ==

vi list.txt
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
add_members -r list.txt  mylistname

#adds the three users from list.txt to the mailing list mylistname.


That did it. I was trying to put the email address in the command line, 
rather than putting the email address in a text file, and then feeding the 
text file to the script.

Thanks again guys.
