I've added to mm_cfg.py the line: HTML_TO_PLAIN_TEXT_COMMAND = '/usr/local/bin/lynx -dump %(filename)s' which is the Defaults.py line change to point to the correct directory. Verification: julie:vancleef:$ which lynx /usr/local/bin/lynx julie:vancleef:$ lynx -version Lynx Version 2.8.5rel.1 (04 Feb 2004) Built on solaris2.9 Dec 20 2006 19:54:22 julie:vancleef:$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/lynx -rwxr-xr-x 1 root other 1892964 Dec 20 2006 /usr/local/bin/lynx Checking logs, I don't get a grep hit on "lynx" in either syslog or the Mailman logs. Checking mailman/logs/error, I have a line Feb 13 07:52:07 2010 (296) HTML->text/plain error: 256 This matches the timestamp on the incoming webmail post. That build of lynx isn't used anywhere else on my system. Are there any other install considerations needed? The e-mail you refenced flagged lynx as a potential problem, but seems to be primarily about a Linux distro and /tmp. I've restarted Mailman with the new line in mm_cfg.py, and will retest.
