We just resolved this pretty well with Mark's help. Here are my notes for how we fixed it. The full discussion took place in recent days, so if you are just now joining the list, check this week's archives. Supporting HTML email with correct footers: >To reproduce: > >1.

Is text/html in the pass_mime_types content filtering setting? Is collapse_alternatives set to No? I suspect that one or both of those is not the case, and setting them will solve your problem. I further suspect that collapse_alternatives is the issue. Gmail creates a multi-part alternative message with a text/plain alternative containing Gmail's conversion of the HTML and a text/html alternative containing the HTML. If collapse_alternatives is Yes, Mailman simply replaces the multipart/alternative part with the first (i.e.text/plain) alternative. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/84A9> for a more complete discussion. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
