Thread: An actually *useful* mail-list message footer

I think Alvaro's point is that the traditional standard divider line for
signature-like stuff is "-- ". Two dashes, one space, not more nor
less. Right now we're using
"---------------------------(end of broadcast)---------------------------"
You can be sure there is no software anywhere in the world that
recognizes that as a divider line.

The bit that's wrong about this URL is that it's not specific to the pgsql-www list -- it's a general form for all lists; the "extra=foo" stuff is being ignored. I don't understand why you got a 404 for Greg's URL. Are you sure you didn't mis-paste it?

Well, if you can make it so that http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/unsubscribe/pgsql-www redirects to the URL above, it does seem a lot better.

That should be doable with a .htaccess rule for mod_rewrite, so it's then trivial. But even if you can't do it with mod_rewrite, we could do it with some custom PHP, with a bit more work. So - absolutely doable, once we decide where we want it to go. //Magnus

+1 for a more readable link. I don't much care what it is exactly,
but would suggest not exposing "wwwmaster" or anything that is part
of the website's internal infrastructure.

I have now realized the Postgres FAQ was lacking in providing unsubscribe information, and in not promoting the use of eliminatecc and selfcopy for people who want it. I have added a new FAQ item: 1.15) How do I unsubscribe from the PostgreSQL email lists? How do Iavoid receiving duplicate emails?The PostgreSQL Majordomo<URL> page allows subscribing orunsubscribing from any of the PostgreSQL email lists. (You mightneed to have yourMajordomo password emailed to you to log in.)All PostgreSQL email lists are configured so a group reply goes to theemaillist and the original email author. This is done so users receivethe quickest possible email replies. If you wouldprefer not to receiveduplicate email from the list in cases where you already receive anemail directly, check eliminateccfrom the Majordomo Change Settingspage. You can also prevent yourself from receiving copies of emails youpostto the lists by unchecking selfcopy. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://postgres.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +

Uh, I can but the fact is I need to give them information about how to log into that page for both items. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://postgres.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +

Since we're sending it to a preferences page, it seems reasonable to name it mailpref (or so) instead of unsub. So http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-www seems reasonable? You can test it out at http://magnus-static.pgadmin.org/mailpref/pgsql-www (by all means, try out other lists) Good enough to commit? //Magnus

And yes, it should've been change-the-name to be consistent with our other lists. Is the list alive at all, or should it be deleted? Either way, I've added underscore, and it works now.

Ok, it works off at least one of the mirrors now, so give it a couple of hours to make sure it has hit all the mirrors, and then go ahead with the change. //Magnus
