What on earth did you find in there that's relevant to your questions? > This trailer feature for the iMail list server is practically > useless -- not being able to include it at the bottom of all > messages sent to local accounts makes NO sense at all Did you mean "not being able to NOT include it"? I have to say, this missing advanced feature is also missing from the majority of list managers out there, so it makes its own kind of sense. Or did you mean something else, like the global trailer.txt feature (which isn't part of IMAILSRV)--this is, I agree, a strange implementation, but not in the same realm. > and if users are using HTML formatting (99% of our users do!), the > trailer won't appear. As Rod said, good citizens use plain-text for lists, which generate an explosive (no pun intended) amount of traffic and so must be treated especially delicately. If you can't convince them by moderator message alone, convince them by rejecting messages that have 'multipart-alternative' in the headers, etc. IMAILSRV is part of the MTA part of IMail, which does not speak HTML. True, it would be great if it did do this kind of tag-stripping thing on its own, but it is basically a "freebie" thrown in alongside more maintained modules. > What can be done to REALLY add a trailer, without all these silly > problems?

To do this would require parsing the HTML to determine the insertion point.

This is a perplexing, seemingly untested allegation you're making. You're not correct in saying that the LIST command is irrevocably enabled, although the docs are misleading on this point, making it seem like a loophole where there isn't one. -Sandy To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
