If you are doing this as a part of content filtering you just set the list's Content filtering -> convert_html_to_plaintext to Yes, but I suspect you are not. In that case, don't hijack content filtering settings for your own purpose. It won't work. If you are going to hard code some setting for your handler to use, just hard code it in the handler. > I took it here > http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030615.

It is not caching per se. Once you access the list once and save it, your modified pipeline is saved as a list attribute just like any other setting. Removing extend.py will not remove the pipeline attribute from the list. That is what the above is trying to tell you. > I do perform a mailman restart to load new handler's code: > > /etc/init.d/mailman restart Yes. That is correct. > Is there some documentation about list configuration override order? Not outside the source code. See the __init__ method of the MailList class in Mailman/MailList.py. The list's extend.py if any is executed before the list's configuration is loaded from disk. Thus any list attribute set in extend.py that also exists in the list's saved configuration will be overridden by the list config. > I found a topic giving some information for personalizing the list: > > 4.48 How can I change the HTML (or .txt) templates used by my mailing > lists? > http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030605 Which only talks about search rules for the built in templates and has nothing to do with anything else. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
