Hi Mark, Yes I can add a "blank" line to the end of the text area. My point is, it isn't obvious to the user that they should do this. By doing so they may think, like me, that they're adding an unwanted blank line to the msg_footer, for example. Just as Unix text editors shouldn't produce a text file without a trailing newline, since POSIX mandates a text file is zero or more LF-terminated lines, so I think Mailman has to work around the different UI presented by web-browser text areas and ensure the text it uses from them has a terminating LF. Thanks for the Debian pointer on the base64. I think other encodings would show the lack of final LF too though, e.g. Quoted-Printable of the above base64: --=20 sig0 sig1= -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1670033 Title: Text blocks, e.g. msg_footer, might not end with linefeed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1670033/+subscriptions
