#9277 - RE: 8052.com Features / Bugs Fixed
Aka: Thanks, I was able to find your last post referencing the mail list bug and as soon as I saw it I said, "Oh yeah!" I did some research on applicable sites and have a solution. I'll probably implement it tomorrow. I want to test it before it goes "live", and the mailing list is going to go out in about an hour, so now is a bad time to test.

The bug is in the mailing list, not in Yahoo or anything else like that. Actually, it's not even a bug in the mailing list--it's a sendmail "problem." Looks like I just need to add a parameter to sendmail and it'll be fine.

All mailings stopped around December 24th through January 5th when the server was upgraded. Once I got back from Christmas vacation I fixed the problem and mailings were activated again. Email is probably still being sent to your previous account unless you went back and turned that option off here at 8052.com.

As for the HTML tags in the mailing list, yes, I plan to look into including some kind of filter when messages are added to the mailing list "send buffer." It'll probably amount to stripping all tags, with two exceptions. AHREF tags will be replaced with just the HTTP address and IMG SRC tags will be replaced with just the address of the image. All other HTML will be stripped out. I think that will work acceptably well--unless someone tries to construct a table in a message, but I haven't seen that yet. :)

Good night all.
