    Hello list,

    I wonder if we could improve the mailing list footer for
    scap-security-guide

    It can be configured in mailing list administration in section
    “Non-digest options”.

    Currently the footer looks like:
    "_______________________________________________
    scap-security-guide mailing list
    [email protected]
    <mailto:[email protected]>
    https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/scap-security-guide”
    
<https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/scap-security-guide%E2%80%9D>

    What about something more useful?

    “--
    [email protected]
    <mailto:[email protected]> mailing list
    https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/scap-security-guide
    
https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/wiki/Collateral-and-References”
    
<https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/wiki/Collateral-and-References%E2%80%9D>

    The most important change is replacing
    “_______________________________________________”
    with
    “-- "

    “-- “ is usually interpreted by e-mail clients as “beginning of
    signature” and automatically stripped from replies.  Take note
    that it is dash dash space.

    It would help prevent mailing list signatures from accumulating in
    replies like this:

    > [blah blah]

    Good idea

<https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/scap-security-guide%E2%80%9D>

    Other links in proposed signature were picked from a recent
    mailing list topic.

    Thanks,

    PS: This is transcribed almost verbatim from another mailing list
    I am on where I thought it sounded like a good idea.
