[Mailman-Users] Duplicate attachements saved in archive directory?
Hello, We are running mailman 2.1.8. List's attachments seemed saved twice with different names in archives directory. For example, one is "attachement.pdf", another one "attachment-0001.pdf". The latter is the one used in the URL that replaces the attachement in the oringal email. I thought this might have to do with email client, but I tested with Mac MailApp and Linux Firfox, same behavior. Any idea what caused this? Thanks! Xueshan -- -- Xueshan Feng (aka.

Whether or not this happens depends on the setting of scrub_nondigest and whether or not the list is digestable. If scrub_nondigest is Yes, the original message is scrubbed and attachments are saved and replaced by URLs in the original message. Then when the message is archived and the digest (if any) is produced, there are no attachments, only links. If scrub_nondigest is No, the original message is sent with attachments. The message is scrubbed for the archive and attachments are saved and replaced by URLs. If the list is digestable, the message is also put in the list's digest.mbox with attachments and when the plain digest is produced, it is scrubbed again and duplicate copies of the attachments are saved with different names and replaced by URLs. Thus each saved attachment has two copies, one of which is referenced by the archived message and the other of which is referenced by the message in the plain digest. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Ah thanks for the clear explanation. I'd never thought this had to do with list digest policy. Our system wide scrub_nodigest is False, default value from installation, and my test list is digestable, like most lists on our systems, hence the two copies of same attachment. If I make mylist "nodigestable", then only one copy of attachement is saved. Xueshan -- > -- -- Xueshan Feng (aka.
