I don't know the answer to your question, but I do have some insight about the reason for it. The mail is constructed so that users can simply reply to the mail as confirmation.. This is a fairly useful feature if, for instance, they're in a text-only environment and don't want to have to retype the link into a browser- assuming they even have access to one. -- - Patrick Bogen ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
