It occurs because of the answer to Question #2, but it is the specific mail client (Yahoo) that is displaying the footer in this way. >Question #2 >Even beyond that, no matter which mail program/service I use (Yahoo! or >Outlook), what footer I do create is attached to the email as an attachment. >Again, I don't know what is causing that; 1) is Mailman sending it that way, >or 2) are the mail programs/services forcing the footer (which does show up in >the email body) to also be attached? Mailman is doing it because the MIME structure of the incoming message does not allow simply adding the footer to the 'body' of the mail. >I'd like to have a footer in the body of the email coming through my maillist, >but I'd rally rather not have the "-----Inline Attachment Follows-----" text >in the body or the footer included as an attachment to the email. > >Again, sorry if this is repetitive, but I couldn't find any thread or faq that >spoke specifically to these questions...only close to it. The FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/84A9> speaks exactly to this question (Question #2). In order for Mailman to add a footer and add it to the message 'body', the incoming post must be a simple text/plain message, not HTML or multipart/alternative or you must set content filtering to make it so. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
