What are you asking, and what is the issue? The default setting for OLD_STYLE_PREFIXING is Yes. It can be overridden in mm_cfg.py. With this setting and no change to the list's subject_prefix, prefixing will continue to work as before. In 2.1.6 there were two new features - sequence numbering, and always putting the prefix first before any Re:. Numbering is controlled by litterally including '%d' in subject_prefix. The %d is replaced by the message sequence number in the delivered message. If you include the %d for sequence numbering, the setting for OLD_STYLE_PREFIXING is ignored and the new behavior is implied. In the absence of numbering, OLD_STYLE_PREFIXING controls the order of the prefix and any Re:. Yes implies the previous style, e.g., "Re: [Mailman-Users] format" and No implies, e.g., "[Mailman-Users] Re: format". Upon rereading, I think your question is "is it possible to have OLD_STYLE_PREFIXING = No in mm_cfg.py, but use the old style for selected lists through some list setting". Unfortunately, the answer to that is no. You can have OLD_STYLE_PREFIXING = Yes and use the new style for selected lists, but only by adding sequence numbering to the prefix for those lists that want the new style. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
