For the record, here is how YOUR email arrived to me, and his previous
mailng also had the liness immediately above.
I just went through this with someone a couple of days ago. It appears
that not only procmail filtering is removing footers. This individual was
also getting footers removed (I say removed because I have yet to see any
mail come through a redhat mailing list without one coming in MY mail)
within a mailer in OS2 as well as in pine using linux.
Until that time I never knew that anyone was receiving mail without it.
And, I assumed if they weren't able to interpret the footers, they didn't
have the wherewithal to create any rules in procmail to remove them. I
now know that having or not having a couple of braincells has nothing to
do with anything.
I have no idea what could/should be done about it. Yes, everybody gets
confirmation messages and should keep them. Mine was lost in a hard drive
crash a couple of years ago when I had no previous way to keep backups.
Then the way the subscribe/unsubscribe actions were performed changed. I
just subscribed under another email address, got the howto, then
unsubscribed the new address so as to get the instructions back. Not
everyone has that option.
