Is there any plan for Balsa to implement the mailing list info headers
defined in RFC2369? I found that feature really handy in Pine.
For those that are not familiar with this, RFC2369 defines several headers
that may be used with mailing lists to define certain actions. If this list
were run on Majordomo, it might have headers like this:
List-Subscribe: <mailto:balsa-list-request@gnome.org?body=subscribe>
List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:balsa-list-request@gnome.org?body=unsubscribe>
List-Help: <mailto:majordomo@gnome.org?body=help>,
<http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/balsa-list/>
Then somewhere in the Balsa interface would be an indication to the user
that they could get help on subscribing, unsubscribing, or getting help
related to the mailing list. In Pine and Pegasus, a line of text is added to
the top of the message in the manner of a URL with text similar to "Get
information about this mailing list". Using the URL displays a screen of
information, including URLs for each header.
