Those parts are basically trivial, yes. The problem is messages that are originally HTML mail, and perhaps attachments. The thing is that the users I'm used to don't want to change interfaces from mail reader toolbar to HTML links embedded in the message, and they wouldn't be happy with jumping back and forth between the summary/TOC and the messages; they want to see the TOC and the current message at the same time. > Being that I'm not a programmer, maybe I just don't know enough about > what can and can't be done, but my thinking was that the headers of each > message could somehow be 'encapsulated' and hidden (ie, not 'rendered') > in the generated 'Interactive HTML Digest' in such a way that would > allow the more complex 'special features' in this request to work. Headers are not a problem; Mailman already does filter out many "uninteresting" headers in the plain text digest. The problem is if the message itself is structured, such as in HTML, or containing attachments. "Simple" HTML simply doesn't lend itself to "encapsulating" structured documents, except with devices like frames. > > It looks like somebody has borrowed Guido's time machine and the > > feature (ie, List-Post in each message in digest) is already > > implemented.

No. Mark explained how to get that, you need to access the command line interface and change the list config to add the List-Post header to the "keep" list. I think that rather than have an option it might as well be the default to keep it. _______________________________________________ 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
