Following on.... I've just tried to change my own e-mail address by clicking on the blue change your email address - get the message ' you are already subscribed'. Added another email address to my account but that doesn't help either. No option to change so can someone tell me how they do it? Lin

Another quirk I found was if you copy and paste the address into the search box it didn't find it I found the paste was adding spaces before the address which were not visible key in the address or remove the spaces and they come up Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 26-Apr-18 8:40 PM, Lin Duke wrote: > Just a warning: I've had a subscriber change his address; he's posted to > the list with this new address.

Maybe a few minutes, but there shouldn't be a lot. How did they update it?

Is there a delay between a member updating their email address and it showing in the members list? Lin

Anne recently gave me a link to some default footer, headers and the like templates that can be installed in our current lists where such things are currently missing and needed. I understand they have been out there a while, but I am only now becoming aware of them. Can anyone out there kindly send me any simple STEP-BY-STEP directions for installing/uploading these templates to each of my lists, please? I would like to upload them to my lists, but I do not see any means of doing so. Please help if you can. Thank you. David E. Cann [email protected]

I'm more than willing to put up with a few garbled Digest messages from time to time. Also have to keep in mind that these online e-mail sites don't show the quoted text in replies so its very easy to overlook. I do my lists from my smartphone or tablet the vast majority of the time so it is a pain to delete the offending portion. I say "let 'er ride...!" :) Rick B On Wed, Apr 25, 2018 at 12:44 PM, Nivard Ovington <[email protected]> wrote: > I think the majority of admins do that on a regular basis, plus the old > footer messages often stated the same > > Yet still some continue to repeat the whole digest with a garbled digest > subject line, it doesn't matter how many times you tell them, they still do > it > > People are people and make mistakes or don't listen, the size limit of > posts was a very effective way of holding whole digests from being posted, > along with the ability to give a reason for rejection

David, I have sent out an email on that via this list, but in case you missed it, you will find it under Settings and then Custom Messaging.

Anne, Does that include deleting and/or modifying the old outdated footers left over from Mailman 2.17 with broken links and conflicting (now) information?

I think the majority of admins do that on a regular basis, plus the old footer messages often stated the same Yet still some continue to repeat the whole digest with a garbled digest subject line, it doesn't matter how many times you tell them, they still do it People are people and make mistakes or don't listen, the size limit of posts was a very effective way of holding whole digests from being posted, along with the ability to give a reason for rejection But as we know we can't have that Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 25-Apr-18 3:58 PM, Dan M wrote: > I ask folks to make a fresh message and copy only the part of the digest > they are replying too. > Sometimes nice to let them know how the subject line could work for them. > name>location>date or something like that. > > Subject line is their best advertising, it is what we see first. > Jones>1800>WISS > I ask them not to use the digest in any subject. > Most lists; are still so slow, not much use for digest any way yet. > Maybe you could move the short fuse out of digest? > > It is also complicated to edit [snip] from the cell phone, but I did > finally figure it out too.

I ask folks to make a fresh message and copy only the part of the digest they are replying too. Sometimes nice to let them know how the subject line could work for them. name>location>date or something like that. Subject line is their best advertising, it is what we see first. Jones>1800>WISS I ask them not to use the digest in any subject. Most lists; are still so slow, not much use for digest any way yet. Maybe you could move the short fuse out of digest?

I agree, as long as its working its better than no list at all But some subscribers have a very short fuse One subscriber has twice had a problem and repeated the whole digest multiple times The complaints are many, if digest they could delete in a second, if list mode about eleven seconds It takes them longer to compose a complaint and post it (along with the whole digest again of course) than just delete them Nowt so strange as folk ;-) I would like the new version a whole lot better if you could do at least what we could do with the old system Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 25-Apr-18 3:26 PM, Dan M wrote: > It seems that something is wrong with the internal command that runs > links.??

It seems that something is wrong with the internal command that runs links.?? Also it seems like this version or how ever it was installed missed something in operations. Just a thought. Because it seems like things everywhere are there but not functioning but floundering. Long as the lists get members and we can converse is good for now. One thing at a time.

Anne, when we receive notification of a stuck message or the like, the email contains a link to the list's admin page, which is very helpful. However, notifications of subscription requests do not contain that link. Instead, they contain the list's posting email address, which is not helpful at all. Any chance that the subscription request notifications could be tweaked to include a link to the admin page rather than the posting address? It would be great if you could add this request to the bottom of your team's to-do list. Thanks, Lynne

Well thats a strange coincidence I don't think I have had a held message to any list since the 6th March due to its size But this morning after I posted this question I had one held, reason = exceeds 10kb Which was the size I had before the new mailman So is the setting there but I can't find it ? Or is the old setting still working but is not shown anywhere?

I am sure its been discussed but can't remember the end result Is there now a way of setting a maximum size limit for posts to a list? We used to be able to set it at say 10kb which caught the repeated digests posts On one list (not one of mine) one person appears to be having a problem as they have sent an entire digest and more to the list twelve times today (and several more yesterday) But can't see a setting for it in the new set up -- Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK)
