Mailing List Issues
Footers are malformed when large files are attached to list messages
If a list appends a footer to its messages and a message is posted with a large file attachment, it has been reported that the message's footer (contianing unsubscribe information) becomes malformed. More specifically, the mail merge tags are not properly interpreted. To fix this issue, rewrite the footer (located at Utilities : List Settings : E-mail Submitted Content : Footer) to not include any mail merge tags. Mail merge tags have double percent signs (%%) surrounding them.Attachments are not sent correctly in digests
List members who are set to receive mail in digest format will receive attachments as plaintext. To fix this, list administrators should set members whom want digests to MIME digest. This will preserve any special coding, such as attachments, that may be sent in messages posted to the list. More information can be found in our Members table documentation.PKI Certificate Issues
When a message has been digitally signed the list configured footer is left off of the message even if the list has been configured to always include one.
When digitally signing a reply or forward where the original message was not digitally signed and the list makes use of footers with mail merge tags the digital signature can sometimes be invalidated. Testing indicates the behavior is reproducible when the footer from the original message finds its way into the body of the reply or forward. This can happen when the original is broken into pieces for the purpose of addressing certain sections of the original individually.
If your list is going to be receiving heavy traffic with PKI attachments, we suggest that you create a custom footer to override ListManager's default. This can be done by composing a footer at Utilities : List Settings : E-mail Submitted Content : Footer.

If you have different passwords to log into different lists, you may encounter a problem where the interface does not detect you as a member of the list. Technically, list members should be able to log into the discussion forum interface without a password. However, we are currently working out a bug that makes it difficult to do so. If a list member is a member of another list and has a password defined for that list, they cannot login to a list that has no password defined.To fix this, each member should go to https://lists.wisc.edu/read/login (general login URL) and login with their email address and password. Then, they should navigate to My Account > Advanced, type in a universal password under "Your password" and select "My Account changes apply to my other subscriptions on this server" under Apply changes. This will change their password to the one specified above for all the lists they belong to.
