Hmmm the preservation of MIME might be problematical.
I was thinking of something like this just to save some critical
MIME headers (e.g., if someone writes in ISO-8859-x via Quoted
printable):
# Get three MIME headers for preservation
:0
* ^Mime-Version: *\/[^ ].*
{ MIMEVER=$MATCH }
:0
* ^Content-Type: *\/[^ ].*
{ MIMETYPE=$MATCH }
:0
* ^Content-Transfer-Encoding: *\/[^ ].*
{ MIMEXFER=$MATCH }
...
# Have formail format the message for recipients
:0 fw
| formail -I [etc.] \
-I "Mime-Version: $MIMEVER" \
-I "Content-Type: $MIMETYPE" \
-I "Content-Transfer-Encoding: $MIMEXFER" \
...
For the rest, one
might reflect that your ISP is not the only ISP in the world, and that
people obtain mailing-lists in the darndest places.
Well, my ISP has various types of accounts. If I want to lease a
commercial account, I may do whatever I want -- and pay for it. As for
getting a mailling list somewhere else, if this discussion group comes
to pass it is unlikely for the foreseeable future to warrant a full
blown SmartList-type server. (And in any case, this is a good learning
experience.)
