[Mailman-Users] View a user's subscription options

Thu Dec 10 13:10:14 EST 2015

 I see https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/user_options lists subscribed topics.
 Which is something of interest.  But it must be run from the server.

 I ended up taking my own approach, building on little things I'd written
 before, to do an assessment of topic subscriptions from a web client machine.

 Does the following mimic some standard utility somewhere?

    #
    # tag-filter
    # From HTML input, output lines of only text or a single tags.
    #

 I.e. it will produce...
 (e.g. from output of
     curl -s -b cookiefile https://mailman/mailman/options/test-aharper-subset/aharper--at--dt.uwaterloo.ca  )

     <html>
     <head>
     <link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="/icons/mm-icon.png">
     <title>
     aharper at dt.uwaterloo.ca membership configuration for test-aharper-subset
     </title>
     </head>
     <BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff">
     <TABLE WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="5">
     <TR>
     <TD WIDTH="100%" BGCOLOR="#99CCFF">
     <B>
     <FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE=+1>
     test-aharper-subset mailing list membership configuration for
     aharper at dt.uwaterloo.ca
     </FONT>
     [...]
     <tr>
     <td colspan="2">

     <p>
     <strong>
     [...]

 That can simplify rudimentary parsing.

 After tag-filter, I can use my "form-filter", which from output such as
 the above can produce...

    aharper at dt.uwaterloo.ca.disablemail="0"(CHECKED)
    aharper at dt.uwaterloo.ca.disablemail="1"(notchecked)
    aharper at dt.uwaterloo.ca.deliver-globally="1"(notchecked)
    aharper at dt.uwaterloo.ca.digest="0"(CHECKED)

    aharper at dt.uwaterloo.ca.usertopic="This+Topic+Should+Match+Everything%2C"(notchecked)

    aharper at dt.uwaterloo.ca.usertopic="NothingMine%2C"(notchecked)
    aharper at dt.uwaterloo.ca.rcvtopic="0"(CHECKED)

    aharper at dt.uwaterloo.ca.nodupes="0"(CHECKED)
    aharper at dt.uwaterloo.ca.nodupes="1"(notchecked)
    aharper at dt.uwaterloo.ca.nodupes-globally="1"(notchecked)
    aharper at dt.uwaterloo.ca.options-submit="Submit My Changes"

 (Both tag-filter and form-filter may make simplifying assumptions based
 on what has and has never been seen as mailman HTML, e.g. on what to use
 as "form name").

 After turning a simple pipeline like that into "mailman-get-member-options"
 and writing something to do:

     get-member-list $listname | \
            xargs -n 1 mailman-get-member-options $listname

 I added that to what I run in  my standard list dumps.

 Allowing me to assess...
 (relevant output is distributed into */members.optioned)

 cs-xh-admin% grep topic= */*optioned | sed 's/^[^:]*:.*[.]//' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
    1063 rcvtopic="1"(notchecked)
    1063 rcvtopic="0"(CHECKED)
     104 usertopic="Topic+Which+Gets+No+Posts"(notchecked)
     102 usertopic="Farmers+Institute+Newsletters"(notchecked)
       4 usertopic="This+Topic+Should+Match+Nothing%2C"(notchecked)
       4 usertopic="This+Topic+Should+Match+Everything%2C"(notchecked)
       4 usertopic="Test+Topic+2%2C"(notchecked)
       4 usertopic="SCS+Newsletter%2C"(notchecked)
       4 usertopic="NothingPythonOrg%2C"(notchecked)
       4 usertopic="NothingMine%2C"(notchecked)
       4 usertopic="Farmers+Institute+Newsletters+6%2C"(notchecked)
       4 usertopic="Farmers+Institute+Newsletters+5%2C"(notchecked)
       4 usertopic="Farmers+Institute+Newsletters+4%2C"(notchecked)
       4 usertopic="Farmers+Institute+Newsletters+3%2C"(notchecked)
       4 usertopic="Farmers+Institute+Newsletters+2%2C"(notchecked)
       4 usertopic="Farmers+Institute+Newsletters+1%2C"(notchecked)
       4 usertopic="Any+Topic%2C"(notchecked)
       2 usertopic="Farmers+Institute+Newsletters"(CHECKED)
       1 rcvtopic="1"(CHECKED)
       1 rcvtopic="0"(notchecked)
 cs-xh-admin% 

 (Not a lot of interest is selecting based on topic (yet)).
 (The only use so far is my own testing).
