Footer information

[TomP]

Is it possible to not have the footer stuff like the unsubscribe & powered by stuff repeat after every reply for a discussion list.? I don't mind seeing it once. But most of my threads/emails contain more repeats of footer text that actual message information. It looks like it just gets tacked on to the end of the message thats sent with no attempt to see if it's already there?

Thanks,

Tom

You can just change the Mailing List Message template so its not so verbose - the one for the dadadev discussion list is just a few lines long - really doesn't get in the way.

You'll want to do that in the list control panel, under, Templates -> Email Message Templates

I deleted everything except:
<!-- tmpl_var message_body -->
for both the PainText and HTML message. I'd love to keep the unsubscribe and other stuff in there. But not at the cost of being repeated every time someone replies. Our threads sometimes go close to 20-30 messages deep. With most of the replies being 1 or 2 sentences. I think your template system makes a lot of sense for a news letter type list. I think breaking things down a little different for the discussion list might make better sense.

Anyway, nice piece of software, overall a great idea, thanks again,

Do you have an example of a different discussion list prog that does something different with the footers?

I belong to a list for a software product call Helix. it's a Mac based RADE. (http://www.helixtech.org) And these guys can rant on and on. There's only one unsubscribe message at the end of the email. I don't know what software they're using. I'll try to find out.
