Re: [mlmmj] Adding customheaders & footer to mlmmj list-control mails message

Hi, Robin,

customheaders and footer are omitted from list control messages by
design. If you wish to include these, simply edit your listtexts,
putting the headers at the top and the footer at the bottom. :-)

You will find the texts in $listdir/text, and they may have been copied
from a systemwide location such as /usr/share/mlmmj/text.skel/en or the
directory symlinked. You may find the $text T$ and %text T% directives
useful for including common content (see README.listtexts).

Doing a better job of headers shared between posts and control messages
is the subject of bug 9:

http://mlmmj.org/bugs/bug.php?id=9

And having more sane defaults is the subject or bug 10:

http://mlmmj.org/bugs/bug.php?id

So the plan is to improve this, but for now, the mechanisms I mentioned
above are the way to go.
