Re: [Evolution] Proposal: to eliminate the digest option for the Evolution mailing list

If digests are kept, are other mitigations possible. Like:

    Is there a way to enforce mime digests?

digest more "robust" on the issue of replying to a digest?

    Is it possible to use References: headers to send all digest
replies to moderation?

These are some digest Message-IDs:
mailman 18 1489579205 7551 evolution-list gnome org
mailman 19 1489579205 7551 evolution-list gnome org

a search for
 References: *mailman.*.evolution-list gnome org
should probably do it.

Given that the email received should already have a Message-ID, I expect
few false positives. It is possible that in some cases the incoming
email didn't include a Message-ID and was added by gnome MTA, but those
shouldn't contain the mailman substring.

The only false positives I'm coming up with is for someone purposefully
an mailmain administrativia into the mailing list (eg. he is quoting the
list Welcome message to point out a typo)


    Is it technically possible to remove the ability to turn on
digests, but allow current users to keep receiving them?

Hiding the UI at the subscription step may be enough. You could hide it
at the user preferences too if you want to be more stubborn about it.
This would require editing server files, so no, I don't think there's a
mailman preference that can be readily used per list.
