moin, moin,

Recently I've been seeing the following on mail received from lists:

    [ Note: This message contains email list management information ]

I've been running 4.21 for a while ( in fact I've had this session up
since 03Apr :), but did make some config changes earlier this week having
to do with roles.

Anyway, it's cool to not have that crap inline :) and I was wondering if
there's some kind of standard for this stuff, etc., e.g. where's this
coming from and how is pine knowing it's list management spam?

danke,

der.hans

  The message is a warning that the client (Pine) is giving you about the
mailing list. This means that the headers of the message that you received
contain information about how to subscribe, unsubscribe, help, archives,
etc.

  The standard is decribed in RFC 2369, which you can read from here:
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/htbin/rfc/rfc2369.html
