| 1 | List Commands plugin -- v1.3 |
| 2 | |
| 3 | This plugin gives the user a menu of mailinglist options such as |
| 4 | (un)subscribe, help and archives when viewing messages from compliant |
| 5 | mailinglists. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Description |
| 9 | =========== |
| 10 | |
| 11 | The plugin is an implementation of RFC 2369, "The Use of URLs as Meta-Syntax |
| 12 | for Core Mail List Commands and their Transport through Message Header Fields", |
| 13 | to be found at ftp://nis.nsf.net/internet/documents/rfc/rfc2369.txt. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Compliant mailinglistservers add extra headers with each message they send out |
| 16 | with information about how to (un)subscribe, get help or contact the list |
| 17 | owner. This can either be a web location or an emailaddress. In the latter |
| 18 | case, one needs to send an email to that address in order to complete an action |
| 19 | like subscribing. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | The information in these headers is used to generate an extra menuline on |
| 22 | messages containing one or more of these headers to help users taking advantage |
| 23 | of the features offered. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Installation |
| 27 | ============ |
| 28 | |
| 29 | As with other plugins, just uncompress the archive in the plugins |
| 30 | directory, go back to the main directory, run configure and add the plugin. |
