Mailing list message-footers are not removed when quoting

[lazaridis_com]

The quality of the mailing-list conversation is negatively affected by the footers.

Usually there is a functionality, to remove those footers automatically when replying to a message.

I've never seen this feature in mailman before, seems like a clientside feature. If i'm wrong and someone wants to point me to where that configuration would be applied I'd be happy to do so. Marking to the future until then.

The application which sends the e-mail has to delimit the footer. Within usenet, "--" before the footer usually works. Possibly this would work (on mailman *and* on the web-ui): replace the long _ lines with "--").

And maybe it is an issue of your service provider:

And finally, one way to minimize the disturbance is to reduce the footer to a one-liner. The total of 8 lines are just too much.

lazaridis_com based on your tests what are the conclusions? I don't follow what the outcome was.

I'm mentally "out" of the issues here, but here's the first step to go:

See this here as an example:

​http://dojo-toolkit.33424.n3.nabble.com/Dojo-Framework-with-webcam-interface-tc3752741.html

existent footer (with non-standard footer delimiter and too much content)

Change it (I assume within mailman) to something like:

--

first line is a "-- " dash-dash-space (quasi standard for footer delimiter)
