While the members can change these settings by logging + into their personal options page, you might want to set the + default for a number of the member options. You can do that with + this variable, but see also the other categories for other member + defaults you can set. + +<p> +This variable presents a set of checkboxes which control the + defaults for some of the member options. <em>Conceal the + member's address</em> specifies whether or not the address is + displayed in the list roster. <em>Acknowledge the member's + posting</em> controls whether or not Mailman sends an acknowledgement + to a member when they post a message to the list. <em>Do not + send a copy of a member's own post</em> specifies whether a member + posting to the list will get a copy of their own posting. + <em>Filter out duplicate messages to list members (if possible)</em> + specifies whether members who are explicitly listed as a recipient + of a message (e.g. via the <span class="mailheader">Cc:</span> header) will also get a + copy from Mailman. + +<p> +Of course, members can always override these defaults by making + changes on their membership options page. + +<p> +</dd> +<dt><strong>administrivia</strong></dt> +<dd>This option specifies whether Mailman will search posted messages + for <em>admimistrivia</em>, in other words, email commands which + usually should be posted to the <code>-request</code> address for the + list.

For example, this is the <code>example.com</code> part of + the posting address <code>mylist@example.com</code>. + +<p> +It's generally not a good idea to change this value, since its + default value is specified when the mailing list is created. + Changing this to an incorrect value could make it difficult to + contact your mailing list. Also not that the url used to visit + the list's pages is not configurable through the web interface. + This is because if you messed it up, you'd have to have the site + administrator fix it. + +<p> +</dd> +<dt><strong>include_rfc2369_headers</strong></dt> +<dd><a class="rfc" id='rfcref-1033' xml:id='rfcref-1033' +href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2369.html">RFC 2369</a> is an internet standard that describes a bunch of + headers that mailing list managers should add to messages to make + it easier for people to interact with the list. Mail reading + programs which support this standard may provide buttons for easy + access to the list's archives, or for subscribing and + unsubscribing to the list. It's generally a good idea to enable + these headers as it provides for an improved user experience. + These headers are often called the <code>List-*</code> headers. + +<p> +However, not all mail readers are standards compliant yet, and if + you have a large number of members who are using non-compliant + mail readers, they may be annoyed at these headers. You should + first try to educate your members as to why these headers exist, + and how to hide them in their mail clients.

However for some announce-only mailing + lists, only a very select group of people are allowed to post to + the list; the general membership is usually not allowed to post to + such lists. For lists of this nature, the <span class="mailheader">List-Post:</span> + header is misleading. Select <em>No</em> to disable the inclusion + of this header.
