Are there plans (or existing hacks) to allow SmartList to be multi-lingual in its messages (e.g. the feedback sent by rc.submit with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", "help", etc.)? I currently have lists in German, Spanish, Danish, and English, so it would be convenient to have, for example, a "locale" parameter in rc.custom. Cheers, Seth Chaiklin

Most of the text responses are links in the list directory to the owner directory, arent they? So it should be possible to customize at will. I don't know of a methodical implementation, but won't say that it is not already done... -- Rick DeMattia <rad@nshore.org> The secret of the universe is|^&*||x|NO CARRIER

Actually there are "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" script in .bin. I hacked "subscribe" to check for a "locale" file in a list, and then use values for different strings that are provided in that file. But I could not figure out the logic of "unsubscribe" from a quick glance because it looks like the "case" statement at the end of script is matching on the "english" message of the script. And then there is rc.submit....where it would be a much bigger project. Cheers, Seth Chaiklin
