Archived Email
by Alan Northam 10 Sep '01

10 Sep '01

I am using Smartlist on my server and when I send email it is archived in the archive directory called "latest". I have set smartlist to archive the latest ten emails that I send to the list. However the latest email sent to the list keeps receiving a numeric name that continues to increase. How can I set up smartlist so that the numeric name for the latest ten emails sent to the list remain named 1 - 10? Alan, P.S. This is my second request concerning this question. If I missed someones answer then please forgive me and please repost answer. Tnx!

Unprocessed requests if message is formatted
by Doug Mansfield 10 Sep '01

Is there any way to get smartlist to recognize requests (sent to the correct request address) which are sent in a MIME message or formatted text? Messages sent to my lists go Unprocessed if the body conatins an HTML or richly formatted text. -- DougM

footer & stylized text
by Irwin Lazar 07 Sep '01

07 Sep '01

I'm seeing something strange with my lists and am wondering if there is a fix. I'm using the script cited in the FAQ to add a short footer to every message sent to the list. This footer contains information on how to unsubscribe from the list. I'm noticing that messages containing stylized text are being forwarded by the list without the footer. Messages sent in plain text are forwarded with the footer. Is there a work-around for this (other than blocking stylized text?) Thanks, Irwin

Disregard previous

This (my post below) I finally found an answer to in the archives, but now I have a new question: If I'm including the Approved: me(a)mydomain.com in the first line of the body (for a moderated list), does it only work if I'm sending email in plain text? Do we need to send out ALL our list emails plain text? I think one of the moderators uses AOL set to HTML email. Thanks! Lisa ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lisa D.

OPT-IN List S u b s c r i p t i o n s
by higgins＠peg.com 05 Sep '01

Is anyone doing anything with integrating OPT-IN subscriptions into their smartlist environment? The kind where a subscription request sends a message which must be responded to in order for the subscription to be approved? If so, what are you using and how well does it work? -- Greg Higgins higgins(a)peg.com
