I'd not thought about that, but presumably, that's something that can be addressed via the standard "stanza-in-a-po-file" method? I've not got any multi-lingual lists running (yet), and am a bit in the dark here (although, i rejoined the users/devs lists over an i18n issue, oddly enough) > >Maybe I should draw what I'd like... > > > >Perhaps (shudder), allowing an over-ride to let *some* users use a > >specified content, whilst rejecting for others... > > > >Have I over-complicated things?

Perhaps not in a listing per the current set-up, but perhaps some sort of 'advanced/more' settings giving the options? I dunno. I could see DB hackery becoming quite messy (particularly if allowing given email addresses different settings for different lists) _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
