Odd hold message
by Andrew Bernard 08 Jul '19

08 Jul '19

I received a very simple post today that was held with the following reason: The message is being held because: Message contains administrivia At your convenience, visit your dashboard to approve or deny the request. What is this all about? What does Mailman consider to be administrivia, of all things, and why is this a reason to hold a message? The only thing in the message I can see is that it mentioned '100 members'. Is Mailman becoming sentient and developing an attitude? Seriously, I'd like to know more about this. Andrew

Images and rich content in hyperkitty
by andrew.bernard＠gmail.com 07 Jul '19

07 Jul '19

I see discussion about this topic here in July. My immediate interest is that I had hoped to move from an antique plain-text only list to modern list software that will support content such as inline images (partly to staunch the flow of subscribers to facebook, simply to be able to post pictures.) Does hyperkitty support this, and where can one read about that? Andrew

Post confirmation
by andrew.bernard＠gmail.com 07 Jul '19

07 Jul '19

Some mailing lists have an intermediary step where when the user posts, an email is received frm the server asking them to confirm posting, or discard it. Some of my users feel this gives them the chance to not post something they may have composed in error, or regret, or changed their mind about something. Is it possible to configure this behaviour (I think from Listserv) in Mailman? Andrew

Hyperkitty message threading
by andrew.bernard＠gmail.com 07 Jul '19

07 Jul '19

I am seeing some anomalies with message threading. without going into detail about the symptoms, first le me ask how does Hyperkitty thread messages? Is it based on the message-id in the header, guaranteed unique, or on the subject header? I appear to have a situation where people reply to a message, and then probably thinking to start a new thread, change the subject field., and them post. The message goes to the original thread. I cant stop people doing this as it seems the vast majority of people all over just hit reply for most things anyway as they are generally too lazy to start a new mail (drives me nuts). With this situation, where the subject has apparently been changed, Hyperkitty adds a not to the top of the post "New subject ...' which is what makes me think the message id is involved. Some of my subscribers say they do this all the time on the old Listserv mailing list and a new thread is started. Any help would be appreciated. It's difficult fro me to manually ressign the incorrectly threaded replies as there is no parent message to attach them to. Andrew

Show number of subscribers
by andrew.bernard＠gmail.com 04 Jul '19

04 Jul '19

Would there be a way to show the number of subscribers to a list in the web UI? The number of participants per message is great, but this would be good too. My users seem very interested in this number. I guess they want to know how big the audience is that is reading their posts. Andrew

opt in/out for hidden lists
by mailman3＠malevil.cc 04 Jul '19

04 Jul '19

Is it possible to change the default value for list visibility? Sometime when my list admins create a new list they forget to check that they should be hidden, I think that should be the default value anyway because its a potentially security issue when a list is unwanted visible...
