Re: [U2] Shorter link to mailing list subscription info?

[Adrian Merrall]

That or a page that simply redirects to the "right" one would be
fine... anything but that long, ugly URL that wraps and potentially
breaks depending on your mailreader.

The use case is responding to private email inquiries with, "Please
ask on the u2-users list, you can find subscription info here: ".

Most mail servers and readers are smart enough not to break URL's 
surrounded in <>'S.  I've not been able to find any RFC's on that 
one, but it's fairly universal.

And yes, I realize this is volunteer work. :)  If someone has time to
create such a page, great.  If not I'll probably ask once a year or so
when I forget when I last asked and what the answer was.

RE: [U2] Shorter link to mailing list subscription info?

  The server admin can create a mail.php script that includes the URL.

http://u2ug.org/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=5&bid=21&;
btitle=Main%20Menu&meid=14';
?>

 The only problem there is if a PostNuke code update makes changes to the
index.php URL internally. mail.php will stop working. Yes, it's ugly.
However, all of those parameters have to be passed to index.php somehow.

[U2] Shorter link to mailing list subscription info?

[Wendy Smoak]

I remember asking once before... is there a nicer-looking link
available for the mailing list info page, instead of:

http://u2ug.org/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=5&bid=21&btitle=Main%20Menu&meid=14

Something like http://u2ug.org/mail.php ,  perhaps?
