List Header complaints

List members,

Since, surprisingly, there's no complaint link in the new list header, I'll make my complaints here, hoping that those responsible for the list at least moderate it.

My tone is meant to be helpful, not confrontational. I love this list. It's the only one I don't filter into another mailbox. (-:

a) This link isn't clickable (missing 'http://':

List-Id: Help and discussions for scripters developing scripts and solutions in AppleScript. <applescript-users.lists.apple.com>


b) *IF* a list of links is required with every post, it should be placed at the bottom of the message (as mentioned by others).


c) A list mechanism that won't support styled text (something that would very useful to the list's members) shouldn't be cluttering up the system with a lengthy header.


My advice: Instead of the link header, provide a footer with a single link to a web page that features the many links available and possibly, if the list must cater to the email-only crowd, a 'mailto' link that sends return mail with the current list of lists.

If this posting is out of place, I'd recommend adding a link for 'Style, Content and Substance.' You already know where I think it should go. ;-)

Happy Scripting,

-John
