Thanks for your help. I remember reading about this configuration somewhere else on this list already and I already tried it to no avail.
of course, i tried it again now, and still, it doesn't work... this is a screenshot of the configuration, as recommended by you: http://i.imgur.com/76egNgW.png for "collapse_alternatives" i tried both, yes and no. i have some other mime types in "pass_mime_types", however, i think they should do no harm? the "pass_filename_extensions" and "filter_mime_types" are definitely empty. i selected the text-boxes did a "mark all" and "delete" just to be 100% sure. this is how it looks like in the archive. it is empty: http://i.imgur.com/1uIJo89.png this is the message header source of the mail as received by list subscribers: http://pastebin.com/fM0rREKd it only contains the footer. i don't know what's my issue here, since I exactly followed your proposed steps. i'd be glad if you could help. do you think there could be some inconsistency between the actual config-files and what is showin in the text boxes? for instance, it could be the case that the parameters "pass_filename_extensions" and "filter_mime_types" are not empty in the config files themselves? since i dont have direct access to these files, i'd need to contact the admin. but i am not sure, if that's even a possibility. best, Peter On Tue, Oct 7, 2014 at 4:14 AM, Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> wrote: > On 10/06/2014 04:20 AM, Peter Wetz wrote: > > So the answer to your simple question is simply "you can't". > > > > > > maybe my use of "how can html-mails be properly displayed" was > > misleading. i dont want any html formatting to be preserved. i simply > > want an html mail be converted to plain text and then get shown in the > > archive without any scrubbed attachments. is that possible? > > > > i think that my problem is more specific: when i write an HTML mail from > > gmail to my list, it gets archived properly, i.e., i can see the html as > > plain text. all is fine. however, when I sent an html mail via the web > > interface of the popular freemail gmx, the message's html get scrubbed > > as an attachment and nothing is schon besides the scrubbed attachment. > > > > why is it working with html mails from gmail and why isn't it working > > with html mails from gmx? > > > Last question first.
