Category: mail delivery Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: James (james_tis) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Footer is Added in Plaintext to baes64 encoded mails Initial Comment: When a user sends an email to the list with the following headers: Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 The mailman software attaches the list footer to the body part of the message in plain text. When users receive the message, they see a string of garbage characters at the bottom, where their mail client software tried to base64 decode the plaintext footer. Mailman should instead check the Content-Transfer-Encoding header and either: (1) append the footer encoded in the appropriate encoding (2) change the Content-Type header to multipart/text and add the footer as a separate body part (3) do not add the footer ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Suso Banderas (suso) Date: 2006-01-16 19:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=155277 This bug has been open for a while now. I just wanted to let everyone know that you can fix this issue by not using the % escape sequences in your footer. That may not be ideal, but if fixes the problem for now if you'd rather not have attached footers than have dynamic footers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: James (james_tis) Date: 2005-02-27 09:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1228458 I'll try upgrading and see if that helps... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi) Date: 2005-02-27 08:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=67709 What is the version of your mailman? I believe I fixed this in mailman-2.1.6(b4). The latest version should decode base64 before appending the footer (and re-encode appropriately according to the charset). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1152800&group_id=103
