I'm using Mailman 2.1.5 and wondering if I upgrade to a newer version will I get any better results with messages going out that "hide" the footer as an attachment?
Nope.
I suspect the problem is, as was explained in some of those old list messages, that senders are sending RTF or HTML, but the footer is plain text, so Mailman separates them.
Right. They get put into a separate MIME bodypart, which some MUAs will display together, but others won't.
If MM developers have figured out a way in a newer version to better assure people won't miss the footer, I'd appreciate knowing (and will upgrade). Or if there are any other nifty ideas to get around this problem in 2.1.5, I'd appreciate knowing that as well!
You could drop the footers altogether. You could strip all non-ASCII text content, and convert HTML to ASCII text. You might still get separate MIME bodyparts if the character set was different, but I don't think there's anything more you could do from the Mailman side.
Alternatively, throw out all the crappy MUAs that behave badly, and replace them all with good ones.
