Re: [Mailman-Users] Restricting quoted lines
Jim - Thanks for this. I'm curious as to why this isn't a stock feature in mm and whether they may plan on adding it. Most all mlm's I know of have this feature. Also curious to learn how others deal with over-quoting on their lists. /AB No, this option does not exist in the stock Mailman. (You could write a custom handler to implement this feature... if you don't think the ways your users will come up with to circumvent the restriction are more annoying than the problem of over-quoting.) -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/

Most all mlm's I know of have this feature. So far as I know, there are no plans to add this feature to Mailman, at least not in the foreseeable future. As Jim mentioned, it's easy enough to get around these kinds of limitations that the cure may wind up worse than the disease that you're trying to get rid of. However, if you'd like to put in a request for this enhancement, please do so via the Sourceforge Mailman RFE page at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=103atid=350103. -- Brad Knowles, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 SAGE member since 1995.
