The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Tom Fillmore <address@concealed>]

Hi, there -

Long time SYMPA user, really perplexed and frustrated right now...

Background: currently on v6.2.42, was an in place upgrade from v6.13.  
More than 150 lists.


Problems:

1) Footers are now only being added to text only mails, even when the 
attachment setting is mime.  All footer messages are simple 3-5 line 
text files.  In previous editions of SYMPA I was able to have simple 
text files as footers and they showed up on every mail that was sent, 
whether or not that mail was html or text.

2) Edit link for footer files is not showing up at all on the web 
interface for any list.

3) Some lists had multiple versions of rejection message files (tt2). 
They are no longer visible or editable at all from the web interface.


I've looked through all the docs I can find and found only a couple 
things:  footer files are now called  message_footer, not 
message.footer, that change didn't happen on all the lists during the 
upgrade.  Weird.  And, footers can only be _appended_ to text only 
messages, otherwise they have to be mime additions.  No mention as to 
why multiple tt2 files are no longer shown or editable from the web 
interface.

I can live with the fact that I may (probably) be missing something 
really obvious but since this was an upgrade in place it doesn't seem 
like something that should have happened.  My questions are:

1) What should the config be to have the edit files showing in the web 
interface?

2) What are the proper names and locations of footer files?

3) Is it not possible to have multiple files for say, rejections?  (eg 
reject_Default.tt2, reject_alreadysent.tt2, etc)?

Thanks!
