I wasn't criticising evolution to be fair, just more mailman for not intelligently[1] injecting its footer into an attachment-laden message, and windows live mail for being ... well, poo :) > Maybe it's time to go back to Mutt! Bit harsh :) -n [1] why mailman can't simply parse the existing mime enclosure boundaries and tack its footer on at the end with the same boundary instead of encapsulating the whole smash in its own mime enclosures (which actually define the boundaries from the original message), I don't know. I'm sure there's some reason for it, no doubt someone will figure it out :) -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Matt I'm not sure it's your problem. When I open your mail on Thunderbird it's all fine... It's just this p*ss-poor excuse of an email client that is Wondiws Levi Mial.

I can't see a way around that inside Evolution, as far as I can see Evolution is set to just use Plain Text. Anyone know a way around it?

It's not Thunderbird, or forwarding messages to a list ... it looks like Evolution is sending Matt's gpg-signed messages with the plain body text and gpg signature in separate mime enclosures. Mailman then encloses *that* in its own mime enclosure, and adds the list footer in a separate attachment. So Matt's original two attachments (the body text, the gnu signature) become attachments within an attachment! There's something to be said for just plain text :) -n -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

I find that by default Thunderbird will forward messages as an attachment rather than inline but I've not experienced it when reading messages on the list.

Why is it that when some people send an e-mail to the list I receive the e-mail with no body, but it is instead an attachment? It's driving me nuts...
