Re: [mlmmj] Candidate for an 1.4.0.a1

Hi Bapt,

First of all thank you so much for your effort.

I have for some time been looking at the changes that was done to mlmmj in  
order to match the needs for the FreeBSD project mailing lists

One thing that I really missed in the FreeBSD version of mlmmj was the "from-munging"


Here comes a story - I'll try to keep it short...

I run a couple of internal mlmmj-based mailing lists

I'm challenged with users that does not understand and/or respect mailing  
list defacto conventions - what to do and what not to do etc...

They keep side-tracking the thread by only replying to some of the users - leaving out the list etc etc... it is a nightmare...  :-/

What they do is not intended.

Much of what they do is due to the different workings of various mailers (Reply, Reply All, Reply List etc)...
Also they are sloppy - they do not take a look at the resulting receipient lists before pressing send.

It really messes up mailing list threads if they are side-tracked from the  
list for some time (by accident) and then re-added after some iterations   :-/

For that purpose I would really like to use from-munging
Just displaying From: "Firstname Lastname via some-mailing-list-name"...
Effectively supressing all other email adresses than the maillist address - and in that way keep the whole mailing list thread on the list...

They would be better off with a forum system - but insist on the mailinglist approach...

With that story in mind I would really like to see the "from-munging" in mlmmj

Kind regards Uffe Jakobsen :-)
