Here at Barcelona we are serving (or will do in the future) three kinds of lists: international lists (for which the information mailfiles should be written in English), Spanish lists (for which the Spanish language would be better) and Catalan lists (for which we need Catalan mailfiles). Its a pity (and a nuisance, not to speak of maintainability problems) to have to duplicate MAILFORMs for each Spanish or Catalan list -- note that, in principle, all Spanish or Catalan MAILFORMs sould be identical: a single Spanish list could have to be further customized, but always from the main Spanish mailform. (A similar kind of problem can be found if a LISTSERVer is used to maintain several local lists pertaining to different University departments). I think the problem could be (easily) solved by the addition of a new list-header keyword, say 'Language=' of 'Mailform=', so that a list L could be adscribed via 'Mailform=Spanish' to an *unique* SPANISH MAILFORM, and still be customized, for example, by a L MAILFORM containing only the ADDREQ1 template. Maintainability and modularity would be enhanced, and the postmaster could offer to list owners to use one of a set (instead of only one) of pre-customized forms. What do you think about that? J. M.
