Re: [tsc-devel] Forum <-> mailinglist gateway

Hm, it appears multipart messages don’t work as expected yet. Will look
into that.

That’s hardly possible, because in order to post to the mailinglist, the
email address has to be subscribed to the mailinglist. The address
…r@f… _is_ subscribed to the mailinglist
and hence can post to it. Problems arise when someone who is registered
on the forum, but not subscribed to the mailinglist, posts into the
gateway forum. Resolving this would require to forcibly subscribe these
persons to the mailinglist, maybe even the no-mail version where you
don’t receive any mail, but somehow it doesn’t feel correct to subscribe
people behind their back to some ML.

The other way round, people subscribed to the ML who do not have a forum
account, simply show up as the “Guest” user in the forum, but as the
email address is prepended to the post, this should not be a problem.

Vale,
Quintus
