mutt, and send-hooks. But I don't recommend mutt for you, the learning curve is very steep. However, if you want outgoing logic to be separate from the MUA, set up GNU Anubis -- it's an SMTP proxy that allows arbitrary message modification. > I find it interesting that the list doesn't have a simple feature to > control attachments. Well, I guess it could be configured to discard any email that comes with an attachment. Look in the message headers, see if you can work out what it is, and ask Zane if the University would be happy to change settings. If there are any. The University's hosting of this mailing list is long-standing, and extremely stable. These attributes are far more important than features like attachment filtering. I'd rather that we were able to receive attachments because sometimes they're useful; I'd also rather people didn't send them unless they were essential. > Personally I don't care about attachments. Neither do I -- I'm often using mutt. I can't be bothered to cast random attachments into 7-bit ASCII to see what they say. If they're well-explained and really interesting attachments, I'll make the effort to look at them (actually, to bounce the message to gmail, and let the browser handle render it!) -jim
