Hi,
This seems to me like basic simple questions, I have tried FAQ and other resources, with not much success.
I have two questions:
- When I send an email to a list, in gmail and yahoo I see the following text with the links at the end of the email body:
Testlist_dmark1 mailing list - listname@domain.tlb<mailto:testlist_dmark1@newlistserv.aaas.org> To unsubscribe send an email to listname-leave@domain.tlb
In<mailto:listname-leave@domain.tlb%0b%0bIn> outlook this is added as an attachment in the form of a TEXT file, when you open it, you see the same text. Question: Is there a way to change this, that it looks in outlook the same way as it appears in gmail/yahoo?
There are a few things going on here. First, the actual footer is
Testlist_dmark1 mailing list - listname@domain.tlb To unsubscribe send an email to listname-leave@domain.tlb
The <mailto:...> links are added by the Mail client displaying the mail.
In outlook this is added as an attachment in the form of a TEXT file, when you open it, you see the same text. Question: Is there a way to change this, that it looks in outlook the same way as it appears in gmail/yahoo?
I know MS does it own stuff sometime and we have no impact on that, but I was thinking maybe we might change the footer in a way that outlooks sees that as part of email body.
Yes, this is an outlook thing, but you do have some control. See the FAQ article at <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030707> for a more detailed explanation, but the issue is that after any content filtering has been applied, the message is still multipart so Mailman adds the footer as a separate MIME text/plain part at the end of the message.
You can avoid this by doing heavy content filtering on the messages. Namely, accept only multipart, text/plain and text/html, collapse alternatives and convert html to plain text. Note that some of this involves updating the list's pass_types which is not exposed in Postorius before 1.3.3 which is not yet released.
- How may I change the format and the text in footer? I was expecting it under list > setting, in postorius, but I could not find it.
It's the top level Templates tab in Postorius (just left of Settings). It was added in Postorius 1.2.1.
