Using the mail alias feature of the mail server on the site that hosts the list (e.g., /etc/aliases or /etc/mail/aliases for sendmail & UNIX), make the list posting address a pipe (or equivalent mechanism) to demime, which then delivers the message to the list-management program.
For a Majordomo list it's something like:
mylist: "|/usr/local/majordomo/demime '|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -p bulk -M 10000 -l mylist -f mylist-owner -h myhost.com -s mylist-outgoing'"
For a non-Majordomo list, it might be something like:
mylist: "|/usr/local/bin/demime mylist-post"
where "mylist-post" maps to the input of your list-management program for the list "mylist".

hello everyone,
with apologies for the off topic nature of this;
i have a situation where one of my non-majordomo mail list managers has a problem (for the foreseeable duration) where it has to allow people to write posts in html, but the digest cannot handle such posts, resulting in a html mess.
Now, I currently have access to an unused majordomo list circuit which I know has the html stripper patch successfully working on it.
I would like to feed all posts sent to my other list into the majordomo one, thereby stripping the html, then 'invisibly' / 'semi-invisibly' send the resulting output to the other lists' subscribers, whether they be 'normal' or 'digest' subscribers.
Do you get what I mean? So far, this appears impossible without creating a mail loop. I've tried various forwarding / subscription 'tricks' but to no avail.
In case you're wondering, there are 2 or 3 reasons why I need to stay 'centrally' with the faulty list, rather than just move everything (temporarily) over to the majordomo list.
Any wisdom appreciated !
(i also have access to Mailman, not that that seems to be of help in this scenario)
