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(a)lists.fedorahosted.org
<mailto:scap-security-guide@lists.fedorahosted.org>
https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/scap-security-guide”
<
https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/scap-security-guide%E2%80...
What about something more useful?
“--
scap-security-guide(a)lists.fedorahosted.org
<mailto: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-Refer...

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

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

I am on where I thought it sounded like a good idea.
