I still am experiencing problems (at least it appears to be a problem) with the archiving of email messages to lists.
We are running mailman-2.1.1-4 on redhat 9 with all the latest updates.
The problem occurs when some subscribers send certain mime encoded messages to a list.
When the email gets delivered to a subscriber via the list it looks fine. But when it gets archived, the main body of the message is not displayed.
If you actually take a look at the list.mbox/list.mbox file the body of the message is there, it just doesn't display.
One sample message has the following content lines
Content-Type: multipart/related;
boundary="----_=_NextPart_000_01C3D60B.53FADE40";
type="multipart/alternative"....
This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible.
------_=_NextPart_000_01C3D60B.53FADE40 Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
------_=_NextPart_001_01C3D60B.53FADE40 Content-Type: text/plain
The message that does not appear in the archive is listed here.
------_=_NextPart_001_01C3D60B.53FADE40 Content-Type: text/html
This section now contains the formatted message but it also does not appear in the archive.
------_=_NextPart_001_01C3D60B.53FADE40--
------_=_NextPart_000_01C3D60B.53FADE40
Content-Type: image/jpeg;
name="mb1.jpg"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="mb1.jpg"
Content-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>encoded file here ...
------_=_NextPart_000_01C3D60B.53FADE40--
This last part has a link to the jpp file and when you click on the link the jpeg is displayed.
==================================
So is there something wrong with the archiver program. Or is there something I can be doing.
I have experimented with Eudora 5.2 in sending messages to our lists. When you send messages you can select "Plain", "Styled", or "Plain and Styled".
We also get a log of email sent from Microsoft mailers which may have different Content-Type headers.
Each one seems to be archived differently. So far I have not been able to identify what is really going on.
I have mentioned to the listowner who brought this to my attention, that the best I could do for now is to tell the members not to send mime encoded messages.
By the way, attachments seem to work correctly.
I welcome anyone's assistance.
