Subject: list manager

What list manager software does this list use?  Do you think the list admins
would mind to put a footer on each message telling the list name, subscriber
email, and subscribe/unsubscribe instructions?

thanks,
Brian

> email, and subscribe/unsubscribe instructions?

The headers of each message I get from the list claim that the
list is run a ListProcessor(tm), and the headers also contain
subscribe/unsubscribe information.  Pine has built-in commands
for interacting with the list-information headers, or you can
read the raw headers yourself and act on them manually.

The relevant headers are:

    List-Help: <http://www.washington.edu/computing/listproc/>
    List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:[email-masked]?body=unsubscribe%20pine-info>
    List-Subscribe: <mailto:[email-masked]?body=subscribe%20pine-info%20YourName>
    List-Owner: <mailto:[email-masked]> (Human contact for the list)
    List-Post: <mailto:[email-masked]>
    X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.1 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN

You should also notice a message similar to the one below if you are using
a more recent version of pine. This message appears at the end of the list
message and allows you to select it and see subscribe/unsubscribe and list
help info - again a product of Pines list interaction.

I notice that these headers don't have X- in front of them, I guess that means
that those are 'official' headers.  I never even knew of their existence.
What RFC are they in?  That is cool!

They're in RFC2369, which is dated July 1998, so they're just starting to
come into widespread use now.  One of the best ideas I've seen - wish I'd
thought of it.

Cheers

Richard
