Hosting the petitions is still foreseen ; such a feature would certainly be useful.

I'll contact the various translators (some of whom aren't on ET) to see if they'll contribute translations... It'd be better to keep the translations centralised.

Also, I wonder what the emails using this feature in various petition site have in the "from" field : the email of the sender, or that of the petition site ?

Normally the petition site is the root of the email not the user.

That means the email is that much less likely to be opened...

also means that junk mail filters are going to pick it up sooner rather than later.

On avaaz they seem to have worked around that, though. The from field is the name that you enter and the email address that you enter for yourself. I dun tested it wiv 2 addresses.

then were down to text analysis, being scattered across multiple languages will help.

On http://www.avaaz.org/en/us_change_course/

You have to fill in your own email address and that is listed as the 'from' information.

GoPetition lists itself as sender, and fills in the reply-to field. Rather less ideal.
