Hi,
We did test majordomo's behaviour regarding accepting commands that are
being send in HTML, etc:
(The Mail Format can be changed in Outlook via Tools > Options > (Tab)
Mail Format)
The tests were executed twice, once with and once without signature,
results were almost identical:
* Plain text
Test: lists, subscribe <listname>, unsubscribe <listname>
Results: all commands work as expected, with signature you receive some
additional error messages (Outlook does not automatically put a --
before a signature).
* HTML
Test: subscribe <listname>
Result: some crap, but the command is executed correctly and the user
receives a welcome message. Can be circumvented: when sending a new
mail, select option Format > plain text
Additional test: send command with command in bold/color
Result: commands fails (<b>lists</b> is on one line now).
* RTF
Resulsts: works fine
The same tests were executed with Netscape Messenger and produced about
the same resulsts.
Conclusion: majordomo seems to accept all commands, although the user
receives an e-mail with a lot of error messages and the lengthy help
text.
If anybody has other test results, please post them here so everybody
can learn from them.
Kind regards,
Pascal
