Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Giuseppe Scrivano (rocky_10_balboa) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: localize Initial Comment: Hi, We wrote this little patch as we needed the possibility to change the default language for a virtual host (we use the same mailman instance for multiple sites). By default this is not possible, you can configure only one language for the entire installation and change it only for mailing lists but you get always the same language for listinfo, add list page and admin initial pages. We hope it can be useful for others too.

[ mailman-Bugs-1218827 ] please do not put the list footer in attachment if possible

Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nagy Gábor Péter (bagoy) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: please do not put the list footer in attachment if possible Initial Comment: I manage a list, for a long time it was running on mailman 2.0.11, now it was upgraded to 2.1.5 I was happy to see that I could set the list language to our language, but soon people started to complain because of the list footer. The old version has just added the footer at the bottom of every message, and we never had a problem with that. The new one tries to be smart, and from time to time it puts the footer in another mime part, with different encoding. While I realize that this is good in certain cases, most of the time it is useless. Our list footer contains ascii characters only. Those ascii characters could be simply added at the end of any latin1, latin2, or utf8 messages without any problem. Now it seems that even though I did not put any 8 bit characters in the footer, mailman always kept the footer latin2. (because of the list language). Now I have set the list language to english, so we have the same footer, but this time it is (correctly) us-ascii. Still, sometimes I receive emails, where the us-ascii footer was not added at the end of an email. Today for example there was a utf8 mail on the list, and the footer came as an attachment. Please try to find a way to recognize the possible combinations, and try to avoid creating a new attachment. It seems that most of the list members use some microsoft email clients, and all but one m$ clients don't show the footer inline. And all the clients (opera and netscape too, I was told) shows the attachment sign for all these messages, and people don't know which mails have "real" attachments, and which ones have only the footer attached. Cheers, Gabor ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Suso Banderas (suso) Date: 2006-01-16 19:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=155277 This bug has been open for a while now. I just wanted to let everyone know that you can fix this issue by not using the % escape sequences in your footer. That may not be ideal, but if fixes the problem for now if you'd rather not have attached footers than have dynamic footers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1218827&group_…

Category: mail delivery Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: James (james_tis) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Footer is Added in Plaintext to baes64 encoded mails Initial Comment: When a user sends an email to the list with the following headers: Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 The mailman software attaches the list footer to the body part of the message in plain text. When users receive the message, they see a string of garbage characters at the bottom, where their mail client software tried to base64 decode the plaintext footer.

Category: configuring/installing Group: 2.1 beta >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jeff Peterson (jeffpeterson) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Lose Topics when go directly to topics URL Initial Comment: If I go directly to my list's Topics URL (http://my.site.com/mailman/admin/scan/topics) the first time I bring up my web browser, I get the List's (Scan) Administrator Authentication page. After signing in, I am redirected to the Admin List's (Scan) Topics page, but all my topics are gone for my list. I looked in the list's directory (mailman/lists/<list name>) and the config.pck file has been changed and no longer contains my configurations. Luckily, I had a backup copy of my config.pck file.

It also of course affects people if the authentication gets triggered in other ways when visiting that page. I just logged into the front page, clicked on 'topics', got prompted for auth information again and discovered all my topics were gone. An assert to ensure that the topic list is only shrinking by a maximum of one would be a nice temporary fix - there is no web ui for growing or shrinking the list dramatically so this case would indicate a dataloss bug is about to trigger. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1194419&group_…
