Subject: Mailling-list footer

Hello list,

I wonder if we could improve the mailing list footer for scap-security-guide

It can be configured in mailing list administration in section “Non-digest options”.

Currently the footer looks like:
"_______________________________________________
scap-security-guide mailing list
scap-security-guide@lists.fedorahosted.org
https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/scap-security-guide”

What about something more useful?

“--
scap-security-guide@lists.fedorahosted.org mailing list
https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/scap-security-guide
https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/wiki/Collateral-and-References”

The most important change is replacing
“_______________________________________________”
with
“-- "

“-- “ is usually interpreted by e-mail clients as “beginning of signature” and automatically stripped from replies.  Take note that it is dash dash space.

It would help prevent mailing list signatures from accumulating in replies like this:

> [blah blah]

Good idea

> _______________________________________________
scap-security-guide mailing list
scap-security-guide@lists.fedorahosted.org
https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/scap-security-guide”

Other links in proposed signature were picked from a recent mailing list topic.

Thanks,

PS: This is transcribed almost verbatim from another mailing list I am on where I thought it sounded like a good idea.

my email client doesn't recognize the '--' as a signature, even though it's the same characters as thunderbird uses (ref mine below). others seeing this as well?

Make sure it is dash dash space, not just dash dash.

and now with a dash dash space


ok, so that works -- but we've now introduced some weird bar
