Hi,
Thanks again for your help.
When I check the postorius version, it says 1.1.2-3: [509]# apt list | grep postorius python-django-postorius/bionic,now 1.1.2-3 all [installed,automatic]
It is on Ubuntu18.04 and has been installed with Ubuntu package Mailman-full. There is no update available yet. So it looks like I cannot use the easy way of modifying the templates. Question: Is there a way to achieve the same by updating the code?
Thanks Mohsen

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://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.list.org%2Fx%2F4030707&data=01%7C01%7Cmmasoudf%40aaas.org%7C5cee0e8e38c645260f9908d7f390b8a5%7C2eebd8ff9ed140f0a15638e5dfb3bc56%7C0&sdata=RMIGTGRt%2Fjv7109Hb%2BZ76VSt1U8LQgXRzC8VlxFz2cE%3D&reserved=0> 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.
