Category: configuring/installing Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 8 Submitted By: Ulrich Windl (windl) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: double-quotes handled inconsistent for list's description

Initial Comment: (I'll use a double exclamation mark (!!) instead of a double-quote here, because it seems the double-quotes are converted to """ here by mistake) If I enter a short description like the following line for a mailing list: List about !!something interesting!! mailman-2.1.4 cunnecessarily converts the double quotes (!!) to " in EMail header values. Example: List-Id: !!List about "something interesting" !! <mailbox@domain.org> I think that the quoting in font of an EMail address enclosed by anglr brackets (<...>) is not necessary, and using HTML is wron and not portable. I might work with some broken clients however. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=181779 I've learned that "&quit;" is stored in mailman's list configuration file like this: description = 'Talking about "this"' where description = 'Talking about "this"' would work. Actually when using config_list to make that change, it tuns out that the Web interface can't handle that, producing just 'Talking about '. list_lists however would print the correct strings. Summary: This is not just a problem in mail headers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=969613&group_id=103
