Re: [Mailman-Users] Giving descriptive names to mail adresses
On 16 October 2001, Gerhard den Hollander said: Since it's python that would make it a tad difficult, anyone know of a good python primer and a ``coding mailman for the uninitiated'' book ?

Python is by far the easiest languages to learn I've ever encountered. It's also amazingly powerful -- I'm a bit more productive than I was with Perl (back when I worked in Perl nearly full-time), and waaay more productive then I ever was with C.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Giving descriptive names to mail adresses
* Jon Carnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Mon, Oct 15, 2001 at 04:45:01PM -0400) So I would like some way to add some sort of description to these email adresses. Standard email headers allow for a .. part (e.g. Gerhard den Hollander [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is there some trick to do the same in mailman , so that the membership list will look like e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Joe Dalton [EMAIL PROTECTED] Averell Dalton: c c ? From what I have seen on the list, you cannot use a descriptive field with the email address. You may wish to make this a Requested Future Feature. OK It actually wouldn't be that hard to make happen. In fact, since its open source, feel free to do it yourself! I know I would (except I don't have the time...). Since it's python that would make it a tad difficult, anyone know of a good python primer and a ``coding mailman for the uninitiated'' book ? (or online docs or ..) You might want to make this a self-service item. Let users subscribe and I wish it were that simple ;) Currently listening to: Led Zeppelin - Misty Mountain () Gerhard, @jasongeo.com == The Acoustic Motorbiker == -- __O There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya =`\, 'bout the raisin' of the wrist.

Let users subscribe and unsubscribe themselves. Simply add a link to the bottom of each email pointing to the http...listinfo page of your mailman list. You will still have confirm on any subscribes, but it will be much less work for you, and you won't have to match up obscure email addresses to folks names!
