[plt-scheme] headers vs footers, plt-scheme subject line tag
If you have a strong opinion on either of these subjects, please reply
to me directly so we don't clutter up the list.
1. The PLT Scheme list initially appended a footer providing list
information. One of our posters has since told me that this screws
up MIME encodings. Unfortunately, the mailman list manager is not
smart enough to parse MIME encodings and generate an appropriate
MIME wrapper ... and I don't feel too inclined to rewrite the
mailman program. Anyway, I was told a header would be safer than a
footer, which is why I switched to the brief header. I've since
received several complaints about the header.
Therefore: if you find the header annoying, you're welcome to
offer suggestions, but any suggestions that involve moving it to
the bottom [the only two available loci] must address the MIME
problem. You may want to suggest different header text (eg,
without brackets so Emacs doesn't highlight, whatever) instead.
2. I've been told to get rid of the [plt-scheme] prefix for Subject
lines. If you like having it, let me know. If I don't hear enough
support for it, I'm going to get rid of it.
Thanks,
