[Bug 266317] Re: attachments archived even when archiving disabled

> is it safe to remove these attachments directories? Or will all the attachment files just come back? Assuming the list doesn't archive (archive = No), the only things stored in the attachments directory are attachments scrubbed from the 'plain' format digest. You can remove the attachments directory and its contents, and those specific files won't come back, but as long as your list is digestable, attachments from subsequent digests will continue to be stored. You might think creating a attachments directory as a symlink to /dev/null would work, but it won't because Mailman tries to create and access subdirectories under attachments. Probably the best you can do is create a cron job to 'rm -rf archives/private/listname/attachments' or maybe 'find archives/private/listname/attachments -maxdepth 1 -mtime +2 -exec rm -f \{\} \;'. The 'find' example should just remove those subdirectories older than 2 days (-mtime +2). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/266317 Title: attachments archived even when archiving disabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/266317/+subscriptions

I've been struggling with this for years. If there is no fix in sight, is it safe to remove these attachments directories? Or will all the attachment files just come back?

[Bug 822358] [NEW] zip or bzip2 should be compression choices as well as gzip
by Tom Browder Aug. 9, 2011

Aug. 9, 2011

Public bug reported: Currently gzip is the only compression choice. Novice Windows users usually have a zip utility available but may not be able to easily install another utility like 7-Zip that can handle gzip. Also, bzip2 (or other compression utility) may be a better compression choice than gzip for very active mailing lists ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: administration archive setup -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/822358 Title: zip or bzip2 should be compression choices as well as gzip To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/822358/+subscriptions

[Bug 265908] Re: Unsub instructions difficult to find
by Tom Browder Aug. 7, 2011

Aug. 7, 2011

I also have long wanted such changes. I am now testing my first mailing list with non-techy Windows folks and the default Mailman info page is very confusing to them. There are other changes that would help them, too, such as eliminating the extended discussion on the default Welcome page about mailing list commands--those are for more "advanced" users IMHO. On the Welcome page I would make the following text optional or else hide it under a separate link for advanced use: # remove or move the following: ================= You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: Graytags-request(a)usafa-1965.org with the word `help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. # end of removed or moved text ================= -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/265908 Title: Unsub instructions difficult to find To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/265908/+subscriptions
