As a semi-lurker as well, IMHO the hilariously long signatures are either caused by someone being too lazy to remove it from their response, or what I consider a perceived feeling of over importance... if I were bonkers enough to have a 48 line signature, I
still wouldn't want my entire email signature, including cell phone, direct line, direct fax, mailing address, blood type, and mother's maiden name on a sesame seed bun to go out to thousands of people... but I don't think Mailman has a fix for that. 🙂</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hopefully I'm not out of place here, but I want to just say as a 99% lurker and observer that the most obnoxious thing about reading all the back and forth here is people sending 5 word emails with 83 lines of signature. Can we trim that off

Good morning all,<br>
<br>
Yesterday’s AT&T flub again showed the need for us all to be much more deliberate about how we use the outages and outages-discussion lists.<br>
<br>
I’m not sure off the top of my head who is responsible for the overall setup on these lists, or I’d reach out to that person/people directly.<br>
<br>
Having said that, can we PLEASE consider setting the “Reply To:” default for the outages list to be outages-discussion? That is definitely an option within the Mailman list configuration.<br>
<br>
That would eliminate an insane number of extraneous (and very very long) messages for those of us who use the outages list as a notification source for immediate attention, which I believe to be the intent of that list. I’m looking at one message posted to
outages yesterday that was a reply to a reply to a reply to a reply to a digest message. 513 lines of text!<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you for the consideration.<br>
<br>
