Quoting "Jens-U. Mozdzen" <jmozd...@nde.ag>:
Hi *,
as suggested by mailman, I configured my mailing list membership to
send out digests in MIME format ("Your mail reader may or may not
support MIME digests. In general MIME digests are preferred, but if
you have a problem reading them, select plain text digests.").
Unfortunately, I had to switch back to plain text mode: When
*replying* via IMP, all I get is this:
Zitat von horde-requ...@lists.horde.org:
Send horde mailing list submissions to
ho...@lists.horde.org
To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit
http://lists.horde.org/mailman/listinfo/horde
or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to
horde-requ...@lists.horde.org
You can reach the person managing the list at
horde-ow...@lists.horde.org
When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific
than "Re: Contents of horde digest..."
So isn't it ironical that the mailer reader this list is about, is
not handling the ML digests optimally? ;)
MIME Digests are preferred to help you *read* the list traffic. They
aren't designed to be easy to reply to.
Plain text digests are harder to read, but easier to edit when replying.
Not much you can do about that. A good MUA should only ever generally
reply to text in the "body" part (i.e. the first readable message
part), which is what IMP does.
A MUA could be designed to allow individual replying to a
multipart/digest part via the original "master" message address.
However this is a *very* specific operation that would not be used by
many people, so at least for purposes of IMP it is not a priority.
Quite honestly, IMHO it is much easier to read a list via individual
message anyway. If using mail filters to filter your mailing list
messages into separate mailboxes, there is very little (if any)
benefit from using a digest.
