[Mailman-Users] Cannot set digest mode via URL

[W. Curtis Preston]

Mark,

I really appreciate your assistance on this.

I did look at the source for the members page, which is how I constructed
the GET query in the first place.

The only thing that changed on this page changed between Mailman 2.1.9
> and 2.1.10 and that was the encoding of '@' as '%40' in the email
> addresses, and also encoding of a few other characters, double-quote
> in particular.

I understand that.

I agree.  I don't think so either.

I believe what I should be seeing is what happens when you enter a user's
email address in the search box and THEN click the digest button.  I should
see the list of just the user I'm setting, and the check box for digest
should be checked.  But that's not what's happening.  I get returned to the
default members list (not just the list of the member I'm working on) and
then if I check the user I was trying to set, the digest box is not
checked.  I'm not complaining so much about what screen I get taken to, but
that it's not setting the digest mode for the user, even though I'm using
the new encoded email addresses in my GET query.

I have not looked to see if this is an issue, but there is one

Again I'm not having a problem interpreting what is being displayed on the
screen.  I'm having a problem that I can't set the digest mode via this URL
that appears to be valid:

http://
<domain>/mailman/admin/<listname>/members?user=<email-address>&<email-address>_digest=1&setmemberopts_btn=Submit%20Your%20Changes&allmodbit_val=0&<email-address>_language=en&<email-address>_nodupes=1&adminpw=><adminpassword>

This URL used to work and now it doesn't, even if I use the new style of
email addresses.  I've also tried to do things like
emailaddress_digest=on/off instead of 1/0, but that doesn't seem to help
either.  I just can't seem to figure out the magic incantation. ;)

TIA for any help.
