Category: mail delivery Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jonathan Kamens (jikamens) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Footer sometimes appended to last line of message Initial Comment: If someone submits a multipart/alternative message, and the text part doesn't have a trailing newline, then the footer is started at the end of the last line in the text part, rather than starting on a new line. I think the code that appends the footer should be fixed so that if the text message doesn't end with a newline, one is added before the footer is appended. Thanks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=274776 FYI, Use VM 7.19 inside GNU emacs. I just managed to fix this easily inside VM, so I suppose we can call it a VM bug rather than a MailMan bug and close this ticket. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jonathan Kamens (jikamens) Date: 2006-06-01 01:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=274776 You're right, what's happening is the footer is getting attached as a separate text/plain element. The problem is that the text/plain part of the multipart/alternative is missing a trailing newline, so my mail client is displaying the footer right after the last line of the text/plain part (since my mail client displays the text/plain part rather than the text/html). Perhaps my mail client is at fault; it's hard to say. I doubt it would be appropriate for MailMan to go mucking with the original text/plain part. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2006-06-01 00:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Can you be more specific as to how this occurs. In particular, if the message after content filtering is still multipart/alternative, the footer won't be added to the text/plain alternative. In this case, the message will be wrapped in a multipart/mixed outer part and the footer appended as a separate text/plain part. Footers are only added to a text/plain part when the entire message (perhaps after content filtering) is a single text/plain part. Note, I am not trying to say this is not a problem or it shouldn't be fixed. I'm just trying to understand how it occurs. Also, I'm not trying to say that this is a solution, but as a workaround, you could always add a blank line to the beginning of the footer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1498290&group_id=103
