[Bug 710231] [NEW] Mangling lines with leading hyphen
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@zope.org, zope-dev@zope.org, and zope-announce@zope.org lists. Those lists add a leading '- ' to lines using '---' as a REST title underbars, as well as REST unordered list items.

Hmm, that isn't my original mail -- that is one I got from one of the mailing lists. -- 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
Sorry for the noise -- it appears that Enigmail is the culprit. I was misled by the fact that the message as I thought I sent it looked normal: that was Thunderbird hiding the hyphens injected by Enigmail. There is still some issue with PGP signatures getting messed up, but that may be in gmane rather than Mailman. ** Changed in: mailman Status: New => Invalid -- 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
(For the benefit of anybody finding this issue via search) The behavior I am seeing is PGP "space stuffing" due to use of "inline PGP" to sign the mail: http://josefsson.org/inline-openpgp-considered-harmful.html -- 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
