Kuchling (akuchling) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Generate RSS summary in archives Initial Comment: Here's a first-draft patch. Things that need fixing: * The generated RSS feed needs to be validated. (It passed the W3C's RDF validator, but RSS validators still need to be checked.) * The date should be given in YYYY-MM-DD format, which requires parsing the .fromdate attribute. * How do I get the URL for an archived message? The generated RSS currently just uses the filename, which is wrong. How do I get at the PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL setting? * Getting the most recent N postings is inefficient; the code loops through all of the archived messages and takes the last N of them. We could add .last() and .prev() methods to the Database class, but that's more ambitious for 2.1beta than I like. (Would be nice to get this into 2.1final...) * The list index page should have a LINK element pointing to the RSS file. Please make any comments you have, and I'll rework the patch accordingly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2003-04-18 18:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 Andrew, to get the url for the archived message use mlist.GetBaseArchiveURL(), which knows about private vs. public archives, the host name and the list name. From there you should be able to tack on just the part of the path under "archives/private/listname". See Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py for an example. Only other minor comment: NUM_ARTICLES can probably go in Defaults.py.in ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Justin Mason (jmason) Date: 2003-03-26 16:49 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=935 big thumbs up from me too.

[ mailman-Feature Requests-1001243 ] complete message available on approval

Feature Requests item #1001243, was opened at 2004-07-31 18:04 Message generated for change (Tracker Item Submitted) made by Item Submitter You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=1001243&group_… Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: karl berry (kberry) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: complete message available on approval Initial Comment: For a few lists, it is desirable to be able to see an entire pending message before it is approved. Currently, mailman truncates messages on the "posting held for approval" page (after clicking an individual message or "all messages from..." on the admin request page). For example, this is the case for info-gnu(a)gnu.org. rms wants moderators of that list (of which I am one) to check that postings meet the rather stringent criteria. Without shell access to the mailman host, the only way I've found to see the full message is to forward it to myself. This is painful and slow, when mailman could easily display it. I understand and agree that truncation is usually preferable. This could be a per-list variable, or just an option on the approval page to select on a per-message basis, anything would do ... Thanks for your consideration. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=1001243&group_…

Bugs item #1000699, was opened at 2004-07-30 15:30 Message generated for change (Tracker Item Submitted) made by Item Submitter You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1000699&group_… Category: Web/CGI Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Stepan Kasal (kasal) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: moderator page with details misses a submit button Initial Comment: Working with version 2.1.5. I moderate a few lists. When I go from summary page to "wiev the detail of individual postings", I get a page which has a submit button at the bottom. Similar button should be on the top, as with the Summary page. Besides being an inconvenience, this can also be confusing: I checked "Discard all msgs marked as deferred" on the top, then moved to the end and pressed the button there. Of course the upper checkbox had no influence. Btw: I hope that the "discard all deferred" checkbox discards only the messages from that dispayed page, not the messages that might have arrived while themoderator was staring at the page. That would be nasty if it weren't this way. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1000699&group_…

The error is a simple missing 'import' at the top of the file. Mailman.Archiver.HyperArch.Article._open_list (line 332 in 2.1.4) reads: except Errors.MMListError, e: but that module fails to import Mailman.Errors, so I get a NameError at this point. I'm not sure why it doesn't happen all the time: perhaps that code is only executed when you're manually rebuilding the archives or something. It looks like this bug still exists in CVS. I've attached the one-liner patch to fix it. thanks, -Brian ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1000304&group_…

A browser bug made it possible to enter this into the single line entry field, but Mailman should check this. A quick test shows that CR+LF is possible in the middle of an email address, too, but of course this only works when confirmation check is disabled. Unsubscribing or changing the email address wasn't possible, because there are checks against this strange address. Only manually removing all dictionary entries with 'withlist' helped. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=998609&group_i…

[ mailman-Bugs-905910 ] Wrong headers sent with gzip'd

This causes some browsers to choke in their handling of the files. The filename should have the ".gz" extension stripped, as the files are really just text files. Headers currently sent are as follows: GET /mailman/<removed>/2004-February.txt.gz HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: Opera/7.50 (Windows NT 5.1; U) [en] Host: <removed> Accept: text/html, application/xml;q=0.9, application/xhtml+xml, image/png, image/jpeg, image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, */*;q=0.1 Accept-Language: en Accept-Charset: windows-1252, utf-8, utf-16, iso-8859-1;q=0.6, *;q=0.1 Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip, x-gzip, identity, *; q=0 Referer: <removed> Cookie: <removed> Cookie2: $Version=1 Connection: Keep-Alive, TE TE: deflate, gzip, chunked, identity, trailers HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2004 15:13:32 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100 Connection: Keep-Alive Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/plain ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Chapman Flack (jcflack) Date: 2004-07-22 18:03 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1089428 I agree it's a problem, I'm not sure the file extension is the problem. What I see happening is the http server sends back a Content-Type: of application/x-gzip instead of text/plain. For example, here are the headers I got back from a site that uses Mailman and Apache: HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 1 HTTP/1.1 200 OK 2 Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2004 22:41:58 GMT 3 Server: Apache/2.0.40 (Red Hat Linux) 4 Last-Modified: Wed, 21 Jul 2004 07:27:02 GMT 5 ETag: "39c082-338f-5407bd80" 6 Accept-Ranges: bytes 7 Content-Length: 13199 8 Connection: close 9 Content-Type: application/x-gzip 10 Content-Encoding: x-gzip If that were only sent back as follows: Content-Type: text/plain Content-Encoding: x-gzip then the browser would know exactly what to do with it. I think it is strange that Tim's example shows a different problem. There the Content-Type is correct (text/plain) but there doesn't seem to be a Content-Encoding header. That's odd; usually what I see on Mailman sites is the Content-Type being mislabeled application/x-gzip. I'm not sure exactly where the problem falls between Mailman configuration and http server configuration, but I run into the same thing at just about every Mailman site I ever visit, so it needs some attention on the Mailman end even if it's only documentation on how to configure the server to send the right headers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=905910&group_i…
