[Mailman-Users] Multiple subscribers set in mailman
Hi, I am new to mailman and I have List Administrator access only to the mailing list. Can I do the following and if yes how can I do that: We have series of messages (all messages are interlinked by topic) which we want to share with our mailing list subscribers. Now this is fine with already subscribed mailing list members. But who joins new into the same Mailing list we want to send them, messages from the first one and onwards how can we do that? As the new subscribers are only receives the current messages they will find meaning less content. I hope I can get some solutions for this. I am looking forward to have a solution for the requirement. Thanks in advance. Mr. Swapan Kumar Mitra Kolkata, WB, India.

The new subscribers have to read the old messages in the list's archive. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED]The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

You can't do that in Mailman, and you would likely find both new subscribers and their Internet providers would be annoyed. What you can do is enable the public archiving feature. Then users can visit the archives and browse the threads (topics) that they are interested in at their own convenience. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9

Put links to the messages you want new folks to read in the Welcome message 3. Put the stuff you want new members to read on a web page, and provide a link to that. - - - - - - - - - - - - Michael Welch, volunteer Redwood Alliance PO Box 293 Arcata, CA 95518 707-822-7884 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.redwoodalliance.org -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9

As others have pointed out, you can point (new) subscribers to the mailing list archive. If you wanted to, you could set up the news gateway so that Maiman sends copies of posts to a news group on a news server and then have your (new) subscribers download individual messages from there. (I suspect that it might even be possible to get something to extract messages from either the archive or the news group and send individual messages to the (new) subscribers upon request.) Oh, don't worry, you are not alone in wanting this feature. I've given it some thought too. I'd love to find a way to request that individual messages are sent somewhere after the fact. Once I figure this out, it would be nice to extend the [EMAIL PROTECTED] handler to support this.
