Maybe we can get a fixed footer to occur on the user list emails, just 2 or 3 lines giving the most important info that could help reduce frustration and increase the signal/noise ratio. Things like: 1) How to unsubscribe to the list 2) Where to report bugs 3) Where the support forums are 4) File attachments not supported, so here's where to go to share a file We could also put that info in the original welcome note that is sent to new subscribers. But that note always gets lost. Better to put the info right in each note. > --Jean >
