[Bug 600780] [NEW] Login function needed in rest-client
by Anna 06 Apr '12

06 Apr '12

Public bug reported: For a good, working Mailman 3.0 UI we have to handle the passwords for each user (needed when they subscribe/unsubscribe/want to access their settings page but also for the admins and listowners). Hence, we need to implement the possibility to check for passwords in the rest-client (I believe these are saved in the user table in the core DB) and/or a login function. We should probably use https for the psw authentication. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: mailman3 rest-api -- Login function needed in rest-client https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/600780 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.

[Bug 685261] [NEW] emailed command in subject header is ignored
by Mark Sapiro 06 Apr '12

06 Apr '12

Public bug reported: For example, a held message notification to the list owner/moderator contains an attached message/rfc822 part with subject "confirm <token>" and this message can be replied to with or without an "Approved: <password>" header/first body line to accept or discard the held message. The code allows for an MUA possibly inserting 'Re:' or some l10n equivalent in the subject making it "Re: confirm <token>", but if the l10n equivalent contains a non-ascii character, the entire command is ignored and the message continues to be held. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: mailman3 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/685261 Title: emailed command in subject header is ignored

[Bug 710182] [NEW] REST API: Subribing to more then one list raises AssertionError / returns HTTP 500
by Florian Fuchs 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Public bug reported: Subscribing to more than one mailing list with the same email address via the REST API raises an AssertionError in app/membership.py and and subsequently returns a 500 HTTP status code. System Info: Ubuntu 10.10 Python 2.6.6 Mailman 3.0.0a7 (Rev. 6976) I added a patch file containing a test for multiple list subscriptions and a possible fix.

[Bug 643949] [NEW] Need REST API to change existing user's email
by Timr-probo 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Public bug reported: Perhaps the most common administrative task I face is changing an existing user's email address. Many non-technical people change email addresses very often. This is easy to do with the command line clone_users command, but in a hosted environment, I have to find the user, delete them, go to "mass subscription", and re-enter them. It would be nice if the REST API included a "change one user's address" command. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: mailman3 -- Need REST API to change existing user's email https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/643949 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.

[Bug 710231] [NEW] Mangling lines with leading hyphen
by Tres Seaver 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Public bug reported: Mailman seems to be mangling messages which contain lines with leading hyphens. For instance, the attached message is the original as sent from my MUA to the zope(a)zope.org, zope-dev(a)zope.org, and zope-announce(a)zope.org lists. Those lists add a leading '- ' to lines using '---' as a REST title underbars, as well as REST unordered list items. Archive entries; - https://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2011-January/176108.html - https://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/2011-January/042340.html - https://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-announce/2011-January/002256.html In addition to hurting the readability, this mangling also destroys the PGP signature on the mail. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/710231 Title: Mangling lines with leading hyphen
