Thanks, Mark.

I decided to create a test mailing list to experiment with content filtering. Incidentally, this is Mailman v2.1.5.

Edit filter content: YES
Filter mime types: (blank)
Pass mime types:
        multipart/mixed
        multipart/alternative
        text/plain
        text/html
Convert HTML to plaintext: (see below)
Filter action: Forward to list owner

I created a simple two-line HTML "page" in Word and pasted it in to Outlook (set to send HTML) but without stationery.

It didn't matter whether "Convert HTML to plain text" was YES or NO: In both cases, all HTML font formatting was stripped out. However the link I had in the original was preserved.

I'd be happy to email the simple test page to anyone off list.

This is really confusing me!

-----------------

If my HTML page has an image in it ("stationery"), it will be treated as an attachment. Won't Mailman remove it because it doesn't have an approved content type? It doesn't. Instead it blocks the message and sends me this:

"The attached message matched the XXX mailing
list's content filtering rules and was prevented from being forwarded
on to the list membership. You are receiving the only remaining copy
of the discarded message."


When I send the same page without the image, the message is acceptable.

Thanks.
