Copy the mm21 admin directory out of the mm21 branch. We'll svn
external the latter to get that back into the release, but I really
don't want to maintain multiple copies of the web pages.

List members can -elect to receive postings in bundles call <em>digests</em> one or a few -times a day, or they can receive messages immediately whenever the -message is posted to the list. This latter delivery mode is also -called <em>non-digest delivery</em>. There are two administrative -categories available for separately controlling digest and non-digest -delivery. You can even disable one or the other forms of delivery -(but not both). - -<P> -Both kinds of delivery can have list-specific headers and footers -added to them which can contain other useful information you want your -list members to see. For example, you can include instructions for -unsubscribing, or a url to the lists digest, or any other information. - -<P> -Non-digest deliveries can also be <em>personalized</em> which means -certain parts of the message can contain information tailored to the -member receiving the message. For example, the <span class="mailheader">To:</span> header -will contain the address of the member when deliveries are -personalized. Footers and headers can contain personalized -information as well, such as a link to the individual user's options -page. - -<P> -In addition, personalized messages will contain extra information that -Mailman can use to unambiguously track bounces from members. -Ordinarily, Mailman does some pattern recognition on bounce messages -to determine list members whose addresses are no longer valid, but -because of the vagaries of mail systems, and the countless forwards -people can put in place, it's often the case that bounce messages -don't contain any useful information in them. Personalized messages -avoid this problem by encoding information in certain headers that -unambiguously identify the recipient of a message. If that message -bounces, Mailman will know exactly which member it was intended for. - -<P> -Note that because personalization requires extra system resources, it -must be enabled by the site administrator before you can choose it. - -<P> -Here are the variables which control non-digest delivery: - -<P> -<DL> -<DT><STRONG>nondigestable</STRONG></DT> -<DD>This option controls whether members can receive immediate - delivery or not. If not, they will be forced to receive messages - in digests. You can't disable non-digest delivery if digests are - already disabled. - -<P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>personalize</STRONG></DT> -<DD>This option turns on message personalization. - -<P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>msg_header</STRONG></DT> -<DD>This text box lets you enter information that will be included in - the header of every non-digest message sent through the - list. - -<P> -See below for more information on what can go in the headers and - footers. If you leave this text box empty, no header will be - added. - -<P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>msg_footer</STRONG></DT> -<DD>Just like with the header, you can add a footer to every message. - The same rules apply to footers as apply to headers. -</DD> -</DL> - -<P> -Headers and footers can contain any text you want. For non-English -lists, the headers and footers can contain any character in the -character set of the list's preferred language. The headers and -footers can also contain <em>substitution variables</em> which Mailman -will fill in with information taken from the mailing list. These -substitutions are in Python string interpolation format, where -something like <code>%(list_name)s</code> is substituted with he name of -the mailing list. Note that the trailing "<tt class="samp">s</tt>" is -required<A NAME="tex2html4" - HREF="#foot279"><SUP>2</SUP></A>. - -<P> -For example, a footer containing the following text: - -<P> -<div class="verbatim"><pre> -This is the \%(list_name)s mailing list -Description: \%(description)s -</pre></div> - -<P> -might get attached to postings like so: - -<P> -<div class="verbatim"><pre> -This is the Example mailing list -Description: An example of Mailman mailing lists -</pre></div> - -<P> -Here is the list of substitution variables available for your headers -and footers: - -<P> -<DL> -<DT><STRONG>real_name</STRONG></DT> -<DD>This is the value of the <code>real_name</code> configuration variable - in the General options category. - -<P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>list_name</STRONG></DT> -<DD>This is the canonical name of the mailing list.
