Where this appears, if at all, depends on your email client program. In my program no such 'clickable' material appears. >We have here a blurb which reads: > [ Note: This message contains email list management information. ] > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What is referred to is the RFC-2369 email headers: >List-Help: <http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=LSTOWN-L>, > <mailto:[log in to unmask] LSTOWN-L> >List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:[log in to unmask]> >List-Subscribe: <mailto:[log in to unmask]> >List-Owner: <mailto:[log in to unmask]> >List-Archive: <http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=LSTOWN-L> >No. 2 reads exactly the same >as No. 1, but what it does is send a command to the LISTSERV address of >the list's host site. For LSTOWN-L, that should be >INFO LSTOWN-L Yes, the #1 and #2 are these 2 lines: >List-Help: <http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=LSTOWN-L>, > <mailto:[log in to unmask] LSTOWN-L> >But that is not what is sent, which is INFOLSTOWN-L Again, this seems to depend on your email client program. In my program, I get exactly what you might expect To: [log in to unmask] msg body: INFO LSTOWN-L You could also argue that line 2 should read: > <mailto:[log in to unmask]> (the 'space' is URL-encoded as its hex equivalent '%20') and that URL also works correctly for my email client program.
