When people on my lists post URL's, they are quite often long and
unwieldy ... it would be nice if I could automatically translate those
long URI's into shorter versions.


On a related note, if those really long FAQ urls from the Mailman  
wiki are problematic, the wiki actually does generate short URLs for  
posting to lists.  (Click on info from the page to get the short  
link.)

[Mailman-Users] Automatically creating short URL's?

2008-06-06 Thread David Gibbs

Folks:

Has anyone considered the idea of using one of the URL shortening
services (tinyurl.com, etc) to automatically process URI's in messages
processed by mailman?

When people on my lists post URL's, they are quite often long and
unwieldy ... it would be nice if I could automatically translate those
long URI's into shorter versions.

Thanks!

david

Don't recall anyone requesting this specific feature, no.

But that doesn't mean they haven't asked for it.

Feel free to look on the SourceForge Patch or RFE pages for 
Mailman to see if this request has already been filed, or if a patch 
to perform this function has already been uploaded.  If not, feel 
free to file a request via the RFE page, or upload a patch.
