2.1?

Just curious to know if there's another beta snapshot of 2.1 planned,
and if so when that might be?

I guess you mean Sympa 6.1? (I hope the developers can answer this.)

Thanks,

Re: funnyness involving password resets

SQL query-based data sources problem...

Hello,

I just realized that one of my SQL query-based lists still has subscribers that were removed from the
database long time ago, 
but I do see new subscribers from the database show up in the list as expected. I was under the impressions
that people that are gone 
from the database would also be removed from the list. Am I missing something here?

One note, this list has a few 'nonmember subscribers'. Would that be causing issues with automatic removal
of users?

Another oddity i found, is that a user who was *never* in the database, has somehow appeared in this
particular list. 
Subscription date is the same as list creation date and last update is listed as TODAY! I am the only one with
admin access to
the list and i know for sure that i have never subscribed or added this user to the database.
I ran the SQL query used in the data source by hand and it returned results as expected,  
yet in Sympa it shows 138 subscribers more than in the database, and the user in question is not listed either.

What gives? I am running 6.0.1 

thanks,
-i

Ok - just edited all the custom templates.  Problem solved.

This problem is repeatable.  I'm logged out, click on the ticket, end up 
logged in, with the above error.

Instead of clicking on the emailed link, I tried cutting and pasting it 
into my browser (SeaMonkey) - same problem.  I then tried cutting and 
pasting it into a different browser (Safari), and all worked properly.  
I think one of two things is happening:

1. I have my list password saved in my browser - it could be 
automatically logging me in when I click on the link. Or,

2. It could have to do with having a cookie left around from the 
previous session.

I expect it's number 1.

Thanks,

Miles

ajouter une note à un message

Est-il possible d'ajouter une note d'information au bas d'un message envoyé à
un mailin-list.

Ainsi qu'une copie à une adresse générique que l'on ne souhaite pas mettre
dans les abonnés.
