Utilities: List Settings: Discussion Group Features: Message Look

List Subject

Defines whether the name of this mailing list should be prepended to the Subject: line of mailing list mail. This feature helps list members identify email as coming from your mailing list, and may help their email program filter and organize email better.

For example, if the original subject is:

Subject: new album from Betsy Smith

The new subject is:

Subject: [jazz-discuss] new album from Betsy Smith

By default, the subject line is untouched.

Make Postings Anonymous

Some kinds of mailing lists benefit from allowing people to be anonymous when they post. For example, an employee suggestion discussion might need to be anonymous, as might a psychological support group.

ListManager supports anonymous mailing lists by removing all identifying marks from the headers of the messages distributed to the mailing list. The From: defaults to "Anonymous" and can be set to something else if desired.

If a list is moderated, the moderator will see the real author of the message before approving it, and it will "anonymize" when distributed.

Of course, this feature cannot read the message so, if the message contents contain something that identifies the person, ListManager cannot do anything about that. Thus, people should remember to not include their personal mail footers when posting to an anonymous mailing list.

Prepend to Beginning of Every Digest

If specified, appends this text to the beginning of every nightly digest and index message from this list.

Append to End of Every Digest

If specified, appends this text to the end of every nightly digest and index message from this list.

By default, when you create a mailing list, this footer is added:

---
You are currently subscribed to %%list.name%% as: %%emailaddr%%.
To unsubscribe click here: %%url.unsub%%
or send a blank email to %%email.unsub%%

This footer uses the mail merge fields to allow failsafe unsubscribing.

Of course, you can change this footer to be anything you like, or remove it completely.
