I have attached the files you requested, as sent to me by the list

It appears to me what is happening is the list server is sending the
email with
3 attachments but displays as 4 parts: there is the message header, the
text
version of the email, then an HTML version of the email, followed by the
message
footer. I see like a line separator between each part. (I use the
Thunderbird mail
client). This does not seem like normal behavior. If anything, there
should
be a minimum of 3 parts, not 4.
Let me know if there is any else you need from me.
The actual attachments didn't get to the list, but they are as Darren
describes.
It appears that the original message to the list is
multipart/alternative with test/plain and text/html alternative parts.
The three message parts in addition to the headers are the text/plain
part, the text/html part and the msg_footer.
Something is wrong with what is happening to this message. Normally, if
a message with structure
multipart/alternative
text/plain
text/html
is sent to a list and content filtering doesn't remove eather
alternative or collapse alternatives, the msg_footer will be added as
a separate part and the final message will look like
multipart/mixed
multipart/alternative
text/plain
text/html
text/plain
I.e. it will be converted to a multipart mixed message with two parts -
part 1 being the original message parts and part 2 being the footer.
In your case, it appears that the final message structure is
multipart/mixed
text/plain
text/html
text/plain
instead.
What Mailman version is this?
2.1.9
What are the list's content filtering settings?
Should Mailman filter the content of list traffic according to the
settings below? No
Remove message attachments that don't have a matching content type.
Leave this field blank to skip this filter test.
multipart/mixed
multipart/alternative
text/plain
Should Mailman collapse multipart/alternative to its first part
content? Yes
Should Mailman convert text/html parts to plain text? This conversion
happens after MIME attachments have been stripped. Yes
Action to take when a message matches the content filtering rules.
Discard
The Content Filtering settings are the same across all 3 lists the admin
owns but only this one is it working
incorrectly.
What is the raw message with all headers?
In Tbird, select the message and then File->Save As->File or just
ctrl-S, and give it a name with a .txt extension. Then you can attach
that .txt file to a list post.
I see that my attachments did not come across so I have attached the raw
message
removing only some private information. The owner forwarded to me a copy of
the email sent to the list.
