Hello list,

After I added some lines to the footer of my list run by Mailman 2.1, it has started converting the list messages (plain old text only) into multipart/mixed MIME messages, with the footer in a separate text/plain attachment.

Subscribers are complaining because not all mail clients can handle this properly, apparently.

Is there a way to switch off this behaviour? I haven't found anything in the web interface.


This is fast becoming a FAQ.

The reason Mailman does this, is because your list is configured for a different character set than the incoming emails. For example, if it's set for German (ISO-8859-1), and someone sends a message in UTF-8, the footer cannot be directly added to the message, and needs to be attached separately.

There is a patch available that attempts to coerce all emails to Unicode so footers can be safely added.
