If you've really tried sending mail from all these other mailers, why does THIS message have the footer as part of the message body and not as an attachment?
I have asked that question so many times here and get no answer that its not funny. I have watched others ask this question and it does not get answered or addressed other than blaming it on the great empire of Bill Gates because he must be a demon. I have heard it all. I even brought up the point that my mailings to this list work fine on your servers but not on mine. SO I assume it must be a configuration problem. Yet no one can tell me what is incorrect or where to fix it. I have even heard that it's a character set problem. I am just tired of listening to everyone else blame this problem on something else that I know I have tried and as it turns out, its not the reason. I have watched Microsoft bashing, to outlook bashing to everything else. It's a mailman to sendmail issue. Somewhere there is a configuration problem. But since this isn't a MS product you can't just install it and expect it to work. You have to configure damn near all open source programs for each specific machine and the specific OS its running. I am new to Freebsd. I admit that. That is the reason I asked this very question months ago and then just waited, and waited, and waited. Then I waited for someone else to have the problem and post a question on how to fix it. Still nothing. Nothing in the archives about it that corrects this issue. Yet everyone seems to blame something else. Its complained enough about to warrant a response and a solution. I actually reached my bullshit level and just installed Majodomo. I would rather have used Mailman. But it doesn't work right unless you're a developer and fix whatever line of code is causing it. But I am not a developer just a newbie that someone talked into using a freebsd box vice something that would take a hell of a lot less of my time and would have worked right the first time. Sure, it might not have had the supposedly great uptime of freebsd or any of te other *nix's. But I can reboot a computer easier than I can learn to program in perl and save myself all this trouble. Mailman seems to be a great product. IF and when it works right. I am just a stupid retired Marine that makes money in this business and time is money. Wasted time is lost money.

When a message has a MIME attachment, the safest way for Mailman to add the footer is to add it as an additional plaintext MIME attachment. There's no way for it to safely add the footer to one of the individual attachments; this would break PGP/MIME signatures, cause weird problems with multipart/alternative messages, etc. If you've really tried sending mail from all these other mailers, why does THIS message have the footer as part of the message body and not as an attachment? -- "Since when is skepticism un-American?
