[jira] [Commented] (MPIR-401) Mailing list subscribe and unsubscribe links

["Lukas Theussl (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPIR-401?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17324430#comment-17324430 ] 

Lukas Theussl commented on MPIR-401:
------------------------------------

This is still broken IMO. The 'specification' you link above is just a reference, the documentation for [Maven Model|https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.6.3/maven-model/maven.html#class_mailingList] explicitly states that all three: subscribe, unsubscribe and post, can be an email address *or* link, and that {{mailto:}} is *only* added if the url is an email address. This used to work in the past.

My use case: SourceForge does not provide a direct email address for subscribe/unsubscribe, only a web interface.

>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: mailing-lists
>    Affects Versions: 3.1.2
>            Reporter: Joshua
>            Priority: Major

> This is related to the fix done in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPIR-398
> We were using the mailing list a little different that what was expected.
> So for us we don't have a mailing list, but we do have yammer and we were using the subscribe and unsubscribe links to subscribe and unsubscribe to our yammer group. We use the yammer group as a mailing list.
> When we took 3.1.2 it broke our links because now they have a mailto: before the link.
> Curious if it would be possible to enhance this code to detect if the value in the unsubscribe and subscribe is an email address or a URL. If it is an email address then add the mailto: other wise don't.
