Correct, but appending footers is a problem with cryptographic signatures, so a pretty much no-go too. There is the the issue of email address ownership changing to "non-enlightened" folks, as well as malware out there actually able to perform double opt-in subscription to Mailman lists via email. I've seen it happen. So there ARE unsuspecting, innocent people ending up subscribed here who have ZERO idea how they got here, nor how they get off the list. I have to clue myself up how other list ops deal with that. But I see that there is certainly no "magic bullet" that doesn't have severe drawbacks. Email is becoming more and more unusable due to the defensive measures being taken against spam, phishing and other malicious use of email. On a side note to all: I would prefer not to prolong this discussion here so much as it's quite off-topic. At minimum open a new thread (a new thread, not just change subject) so people have a chance to filter. Best regards, Daniel -- CLUE-RIPE -- Jabber: [email protected] -- dr@IRCnet -- PGP: 0xA85C8AA0
