It is difficult to understand what the issue with any message would be
that would allow Gmail to correctly display the Subject: and Sender:
but Hotmail not.

Possibly you have a hard return at the end of your address in
reply_to_address. I don't know offhand what this would produce in the
generated Reply-To: header, but if it were some kind of encoded
return, Hotmail might see it as the end of the headers and Gmail not.

I would like to see the raw message as sent from Mailman. I don't think
you can get this in Hotmail, but in Gmail, in the message view, near
the top and to the right of the date and the swooping 'reply' arrow
there is a down arrow for 'more'. Pull that down and click 'show
original'. Then copy and paste all the headers - you can mung things
for privacy if you wish, but try not to obscure anything that isn't
simple text, and not particularly if there seem to be any blank lines.

I have never used Hotmail.  Is there a way in Hotmail to see the entire
"source" of the mail (i.e., the entire RFC 5321 headers)?  Maybe Hotmail
is misinterpreting the mail header lines or corrupting them. Thunderbird
allows viewing the headers, as does Comcast mail.  Those are the two with
which I am familiar.

[Mailman-Users] 3.0.0b1 fails bootstrap.py on Mountain Lion

2012-09-06 Thread G B
I'm installing Mailman for the first time, and chose to try the beta.  I'm 
installing on a Mountain Lion Server, that was cleanly installed.   I've since 
updated the OS to 10.8.1

I got as far as 'python bootstrap.py' and it failed immediately with the 
following traceback:

--

FWIW, I can open an interactive Python session and execute "import

Any ideas?

[Mailman-Users] Something is hiding Subject/Sender for Hotmail/MSN recipients

2012-09-06 Thread ChuckPuckett

This just started, but it may be result of change in Settings. I use Mailman
list primarily as an announcement service (of theatrical events in the
area). I myself receive the emails, once in my Hotmail account, once in my
Gmail account. I send the announcements from  the Hotmail account.

In the last month or so, I've noticed that when I receive the email in my
Hotmail account, the Subject says "(No Subject)" and the sender is
"(Unknown)". The Gmail receipt is fine: subject and sender are perfectly
visible. I just ignored the problem until one of my patrons, using an MSN
(also Microsoft, so you can see where I'm heading with my suspicions)
reported the same phenomenon. 

My settings are hopefully set up so that members can only receive the
postings, there is no provision for anyone else posting to the list (it's
not a discussion forum)

anonymous_list is set to NO
first_strip_reply_to set to YES
reply_goes_to_list is Explicit address (mine)
subject_prefix is "[Theatre Happenings]" (don't see how this would affect,
just mentioning settings that seem at least potentially related)

There may be other settings that are germane, happy to provide them. Or
maybe it's nothing in my Settings at all.

Any help is appreciated.
