Our position is this patch in particular, and probably any patch, is not robust enough for general use. Adding msg_header and msg_footer to a MIME multipart message with possibly multiple text/plain and text/html parts by merging the msg_header and msg_footer into existing text/plain and text/html parts is very difficult to get right which is why we only do it if there is only a single text/plain part to merge into. Just as MUAs (Outlook) have difficulty determining what's the message body and what's an attachment, we would have the same difficulty in determining to which part(s) to add the header and footer, plus the fact that in general, determining how to add the header and/or footer to an HTML part with styles and multiple <div>s is not easy. Mailman 3 is not going to be significantly different from Mailman 2.1 is this respect. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
