This change was very much needed. I lost quite a few administrators like this recently :)
> --- NEW FILE: probe.txt --- > This is a probe message. You can ignore this message. I have the feeling that these messages are always too long. Most people don't feel easy reading long "automatic" texts, especially if it arrives in a language they don't perfectly master. In this precise case, the message is long, and talks about things most people have never heard of (probes, bounces, disable/re-enable subscription). What I've done on listes.rezo.net is the following (for example, concerning subscription ack): >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> start file ---------------------------------------------------------- %(welcome)s Your address has been added to the list %(real_name)[EMAIL PROTECTED](host_name)s Thank you. ---------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, you can write to the following address: <%(real_name)[EMAIL PROTECTED](host_name)s> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> end file What I mean is that the documentation should not be inside the message (well, that's my view of this user interaction problem). If other people feel the same, we could redesign a set of shorter templates for non-geeks. The probe.txt message is of course very difficult to write, especially if it contains a virus attached as a copy... :) _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org
