Taken from your message's headers: List-Help: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=help> List-Post: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List-Subscribe: <http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users>, <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=subscribe> List-Id: Mailman mailing list management users <mailman-users.python.org> List-Unsubscribe: <http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users>, <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe> List-Archive: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/> OK, I'll give you that List-Post: isn't applicable to your list. I'd even go so far as to suggest that it should be suppressed by default on any list which does not allow normal list members to post. And I guess it might be a little silly to include subscription instructions (the List-Subscribe: header) on messages that only get sent to people who are already subscribed to the list. List-Archive:, like List-Post:, seems like Mailman could determine its applicability programmatically and disable it where it doesn't apply (i.e., for non-archived lists). This may already be done, but I wouldn't know since I don't run any non-archived lists. But List-Help:, List-Id:, and List-Unsubscribe: all seem like they would be applicable to your list. -- When we reduce our own liberties to stop terrorism, the terrorists have already won. - reverius Innocence is no protection when governments go bad. - Tom Swiss ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py
