I created these messages with a script that saved its output to a file, then used: mailx -s subject [EMAIL PROTECTED] filename.html If you build the message yourself, as opposed to using a MIME-aware MUA, then yes -- you will also need to build the necessary MIME headers and internal infrastructure. However, this can be a complex subject, and I would recommend that you at least look into command-line utilities that can help make this process easier. I can't think of the names of the toolkits off the top of my head, but you should be able to find them pretty easily with Google. But do keep in mind that even command-line MUAs like mailx won't let you control your own headers. If you want to control the headers, you will need to feed your formatted message directly to sendmail or some other comparable message submission agent. When I've done that in the past, it's looked something like: sendmail -t [EMAIL PROTECTED] /path/to/message If only there is a command line mailer that will allow me to add the mime type header to the email, then that would allow the message to display correctly in both my email client, and the list archives. I'd bet that mutt could do that, since it is the MUA that was originally written by the guy who also wrote the PGP/MIME RFC, so he clearly knows both his crypto/PGP stuff and his MIME stuff. Note that mutt does give you some control over what goes in the headers, but mostly that's for putting in your own X- headers and not doing critical things like mucking about with the MIME structure of the message. thanks, I see it adds proper headers this way, but I still don't see a way to control what mime type to use. I used the sendmail command with an html file and it still came through as ascii. I've found that one workaround is to use mutt -a to include the file as an attachment, but i'm suprised there's no easy way to do this. Thanks everyone for your help, I think the lesson is to find something other than uuencode when sending to mailman so it doesnt spoil the list archives. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

This indicates that the MIME structure of the message has somehow been
corrupted or you are looking at a 'plain' format digest as opposed to
a 'mime' digest or an individual message from the list.
I'm using mailman-2.1.5.1-34.rhel4.3 and tried different content
filering options, it didn't seem to help though. Here is a sample of
part of an email:
The sample doesn't help. What we need to see is the headers of the
message and it's subparts. Ideally, both what you send to the list and
what you get back.
Send a very short, HTML message to the list with a Bcc: to yourself.
Then view the message source of both the Bcc: and the message from the
list. If you want help, you can copy and paste these message sources
into a post to this list.
ok, thanks. Here is a paste of the message sources. These both don't
show up as HTML in thunderbird for some reason, I guess mailman may not
be the cause? Messages below were each shortened to save size.

Probably not. Did you see the reply to your original post at

I must have missed your message somehow, thanks a lot for the reply.

Messages as sent to message subscribers or messages in the archives?
You should be able to send HTML to individual subscribers if you don't
filter content or if you allow the appropriate MIME types in content
filtering. How such messages appear in archives depends on sitewide
archiving options set in mm_cfg.py.
so I used uuencode and it
fixed that, but when I take a look at the message in the archives it
looks mostly garbled. Here's an example:
begin 644 AgentCommissions.html

This is not garbled. It is the uuencoded AgentCommissions.html file. A
uuencoded file is not human readable, but as far as mail agents are
concerned, it is plain text and will be archived in its raw form. Some
MUAs see a uuencoded file in an email and call it an 'attachment' and
render it as such, but this is non-standard. Also some MUAs when
composing will put uuencoded data in a separate MIME part with
Content-Transfer-Encoding: uuencode, x-uuencode, uue or x-uue, but
this to is non-standard.
Anyone know if there is a better way to deal with this?
You should be able to send HTML messages to your list members.
What Mailman version is this? What are your content filtering settings?
Can you provide a sample of a message as sent to Mailman and as
received from Mailman?
The messages appear as HTML code, and do not display an HTML looking
email when it arrives to the subscribers. This was one of the reasons
why I tried using uuencode, but in the list archives, they show in their
uuencoded form which is useless. I wanted it to appear as HTML in
thunderbird, and include it as an attachment also.
I'm using mailman-2.1.5.1-34.rhel4.3 and tried different content

Hence, it didn't build _anything_ in that directory. Hence, no wrapper. :( Now, to fix it... On one of my linux boxen, I did a 'locate errno.h'. It appears in '/usr/include/errno.h', and from the output of 'rpm -qf /usr/include/errno.h': hostname (user)% rpm -qf /usr/include/errno.h glibc-devel-2.1.3-15 You need to install the glibc-devel package, and I bet it will work perfectly. :) You _are_ running on linux, if I remember correctly?

Re: [Mailman-Users] a few questions
this is a new install, straight from tar.gz and it still doesn't create the wrapper program and who knows what else.

Re: [Mailman-Users] ./configure error
it is looking for python in a different directory, you must check the path it is looking for to see. I just made a symbolic link to fix that.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Re: problems setting up a mailing list
Thanks for your reply, I installed mailman with the 2.0.8 tarfile. I checked the tar file and mail/wrapper doesn't exist within it, i'm not sure if this is supposed to get created diring the 'make install' or not. I am running sendmail and I know it will resolv hostnames, etc fine. All mail services work ok for me. On Sun, 30 Dec 2001, C.

Check to make sure your local host has both 'localhost' and 'your-FQDN' in it's /etc/hosts file to be safe. Also, make sure your MTA can resolve the hostname and domain you subscribed yourself with. It'll need to relay from localhost (this can be a problem with QMail).

[Mailman-Users] help setting up mailing list
I sent a message with no responses so i'll try agian. I am having difficulty getting a mailing list to work, when I create a new list, it doesn't send a message to me (root) telling me which page to to go or how to subscribe. I don't think this is a permission problem but bin/check_perms will not run correctly from any directory. Does anyone know why I wouldn't recieve a message when I create a new list? I see that the mailman logs say failure but doesn't say why and var/log/messages doesn't report anything. thanks.. -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
[Mailman-Users] trouble with mailman install
I have just a few questions that weill help me greatly with installing mailman on RH 6.2. I am using a 2.0.8 tar ball, is $prefix actually /home/mailman or /home/mailman/mailman-2.0.8 ? When I try to run bin/check_perms it always fails with the same message saying there is an error in line 38 and i'm not running it from the $prefix directory. I tried running it from any location with the same results. thanks.. -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
