To quote the enimgamil developers: "The message from mailman, however, has a Content- Type: multipart/mixed, where the signed message is packed into the first part of that message (there is an additional part with some footer message). This is not compliant to the PGP/MIME standard, no tool will be able to read such a message." I originally filed this bug with the enigmail developers, but agree with them that the bug is on mailman's side. Original bug report (including attachments of example mail) can be read at http://mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=4601 This is with the mailman 2.1.2-6 deian package ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Marc Mutz (mmutz) Date: 2003-10-03 15:49 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=82377 As I see it, the mp/signed part is neatly packaged as-is into the mp/mixed part. That's perfectly legal. In fact, KMail detects the signature perfectly well (except that I don't have the key). You can safely delete this bugreport. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=803045&group_i…

[ mailman-Bugs-640664 ] autowrap lines over 1000 chars

Bugs item #640664, was opened at 2002-11-19 12:49 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by mmutz You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=640664&group_i… Category: nntp/news Group: 2.0.x Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 1 Submitted By: Chris Dudley (dudleyc) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: autowrap lines over 1000 chars Initial Comment: NNTP has a maximum line length of 1000 chars. emails do not have the same restriction. Would it be possible for the script which posts emails to the mailing list to autowrap all the emails at 1000 characters so that they would still be valid nntp posts? Currently i'm getting a fair few error 441 returns from NNTP because some emails exceed the line length limit. It could wrap at the last space or hyphon before the 1000th character, or something similar. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Marc Mutz (mmutz) Date: 2003-10-03 15:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=82377 Mailinglist manager should _not_, I repeat: _not_ change autowrap or otherwise mangle messages that a SMTP server is not allowed to do. This breaks signed mail and for the purists: violates rfc2821. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=640664&group_i…

The user still gets emails from the list, but when you try and click on the user in the admin web interface it will not go to their user page (goes to the General Options page instead) Here is the table row from the Mailman admin interface where you can see the extra characters: <tr> <td><center>u'<INPUT name="amember(a)ap.org_unsub" type="CHECKBOX" value="off" >'</center></td> <td>u'<a href="u\'https://lists.some.org/mailman/options/hrep- agr/amember--at-- ap.org\'">u\'amember(a)ap.org\'</a><br><INPUT name="amember(a)ap.org_realname" type="TEXT" value="" size="23" ><INPUT name="user" type="HIDDEN" value="amember%40ap.org" >'</td> <td>u'<center><INPUT name="amember(a)ap.org_mod" type="CHECKBOX" value="on" CHECKED ></center>'</td> <td><center>u'<INPUT name="amember(a)ap.org_hide" type="CHECKBOX" value="off" >'</center></td> <td><center>u'<INPUT name="amember(a)ap.org_nomail" type="CHECKBOX" value="off" >'</center></td> <td><center>u'<INPUT name="amember(a)ap.org_ack" type="CHECKBOX" value="off" >'</center></td> <td><center>u'<INPUT name="amember(a)ap.org_notmetoo" type="CHECKBOX" value="off" >'</center></td> <td><center>u'<INPUT name="amember(a)ap.org_nodupes" type="CHECKBOX" value="on" CHECKED >'</center></td> <td><center>u'<INPUT name="amember(a)ap.org_digest" type="CHECKBOX" value="off" >'</center></td> <td><center><INPUT name="amember(a)ap.org_plain" type="CHECKBOX" value="on" CHECKED ></center></td> <td>u'<center>\n<Select name="amember(a)ap.org_language">\n <option value="en" Selected> English (USA) </option>\n</Select></center>'</td> </tr> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=817243&group_i…
