FR: Ability to mass subscribe in old Mailman 2 format as well as standard email+name format
And here's my next feature request; I hope you don't mind!
Since proper conversion of Mailman 2 installations' data towards Mailman 3 isn't recommended yet, I'm trying to manually move over our Mailman 2 lists. When requesting a list of members via who <password>
, the list I get back in the reply looks like this:
" mailbox@domain.tld (Firstname Lastname)"
(8 spaces, email address, space, a string in parentheses)
In addition to that, sometimes I need to import legacy lists of email addresses and names. These looks like this:
"Firstname Lastname <mailbox@domain.tld>"
(a string, space, email address between less-/greater-than-signs)
It would be great if the Mass Subscribe function of Postorius could be made to recognize both these formats as they contain information crucial to the operation of our lists, and I'm sure many others as well. Right now trying to use either of them results in the error message The email address Firstname Lastname mailbox@domain.tld is not valid.
