Here is your problem: "X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook, Build 11.0.6353" The only way you can "fix" this is to stop using Microsoft Outlook and/or post only in plain-text, not HTML. This is not a problem with mailman, it is how Outlook interprets multi-part MIME mail messages and the fact that mailman cannot determine exactly where to insert a footer into an HTML message as it can with a plain-text one. Mailman adds the footer for the list as a separate MIME part of the message preserving the original in its own part. Microsoft chose to show the additional parts of a multi-part message as attachments even though they should be rendered in-line like Eudora and Thunderbird and a number of other programs do. It is not necessarily incorrect to treat such messages this way as the RFCs governing it give no guidelines on displaying a message in this form. This was also addressed on this list at least a couple of times in the last week or so. As Mark has both pointed out, see FAQ entry 4.039 for more detail: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.039.htp Dragon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Venimus, Saltavimus, Bibimus (et naribus canium capti sumus) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
