URL-lines in templates get folded
Hi,
I’ve added links to some templates to give owners and moderators shortcuts to the postorius UI for moderation tasks, e.g., I’ve added
https://lists.xxx.de/postorius/lists/$list_id/held_messages https://lists.xxx.de/postorius/lists/$list_id/held_messages
Unfortunately those lines seem to exceed a certain limit and get folded, so that they appear as, e.g.
https://lists.xxx.de/postorius/lists/$list_id/held_ https://lists.xxx.de/postorius/lists/$list_id/held_ messages
(or similar) and are not directly useful.
Do you have any suggestion for this situation?

How are you editing the templates? I.e., are you editing them via Postorius or by putting them in Mailman's var/templates/ directory or ??
Also are those lines of the form
https://... https://...
what you are entering or is that duplication and artifact of your mail client? You should be entering just a URL either with or without angle brackets, but not both.
Is the folding actually in the raw message or is it an artifact of the mail client viewing the message?

I am using the docker containers and have been putting files into the directory mapped to var/templates/site/.

I am sorry, my Mail program changed the encoding here. In fact the template files just contain the plain URL. No blanks no angle brackets. Just one URL containing the $list_id variable.

The folding appears in the raw message sent by Mailman and put into the users INBOX.
I thought there could be a kind of filter in Mailmans mailout processing that cares for line breaks in order to not exceed approx. 75 chars per line?
I will do some more testing tomorrow (european time).

Some but not all templates are wrapped at column 70 by the function at https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/blob/master/src/mailman/utilities/strin.... Those that are wrapped are:
list:admin:action:subscribe list:admin:action:unsubscribe list:admin:notice:pending list:user:notice:goodbye list:user:notice:hold list:user:notice:no-more-today list:user:notice:probe list:user:notice:refuse list:user:notice:warning list:user:notice:welcome
Others are not. For those that are wrapped, there are techniques to avoid wrapping. In particular, lines beginning with whitespace aren't wrapped so if you put your long URL preceded by a space, all on one line it won't wrap.

As easy as that? :-) Thank you!
