Selecting the subset again by selecting "A" shows the correct meber subset starting with "A". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=644950&group_i…

All subject to a bunch of conditions most prominent of which is that the server has to be pretty much dedicated to MM. This patch draws on an original contribution by David Champion <dgc(a)uchicago.edu> which is included in the contrib directory of the Mailman 2.1b distribution as mm-handler. See the README.SENDMAIL.mailer installed by this patch for differences between this and David's Perl original and more information of what you are getting into if you use this patch. Versions of the patch for MM 2.0.13 and MM 2.1b5 are available. This patch requires patch 644797 to be installed before it. In the MM build directory say: patch -p1 < patch-filename ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2002-11-27 11:29 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 version for MM 2.1b5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=644810&group_i…

Patches item #644129, was opened at 2002-11-26 09:44 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=644129&group_i… Category: list administration Group: Mailman 2.2 / 3.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: anser (anser) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Edit held message header/body Initial Comment: Here is my preliminary (brute force) patch to allow full editing of headers and bodies of messages being held for approval in Mailman 2.1 (as of beta 5). I have released versions of this for 1.x and 2.0.x but wanted to wait until 2.1 was fairly stable before releasing this one. You must set HOLD_MESSAGES_AS_PICKLES = 0 in your installation's mm_cfg.py for this to work. I may support pickles in a future version. Personally I don't see that much performance difference anyway, not on the held stuff... Also note that if you had HOLD_MESSAGES_AS_PICKLES = 1 (the default) when you created a list, you must recreate it after changing that variable. (Learned the hard way) This patch overrides the ADMINDB_PAGE_TEXT_LIMIT setting, so if you have megabyte messages being held, be ready to wait. Also - this version doesn't change the request database, so if you change the Subject: header you won't see the change reflected in the summary list (but it will be sent out your way when you Approve). Happy mailmanning! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2002-11-27 11:44 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 Don't worry, MM2.2/3.0 is currently a figment of my imagination. I just needed to do this for triage purposes, and I doubt any of the code involved will change radically before 2.1 final is out. We can move it back to the 2.1 group when that's done (SF doesn't give me enough classification options here unfortunately). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: anser (anser) Date: 2002-11-27 11:40 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=49958 The problem with moving this to 2.2/3.0 is that I actually have no way of knowing whether it will work with 2.2/3.0 - it is based on 2.1. I actually don't expect this feature to ever be folder into "official" Mailman since editing the envelope is apparently considered heresy :) but I want the patch to be available for people who need it. Just so it stops moving so I can post the URL... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2002-11-27 09:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 I'm moving this to the 2.2/3.0 group since we're in feature freeze for 2.1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=644129&group_i…

The plan for 2.1
by barry＠python.org 27 Nov '02

27 Nov '02

I know I've been fairly quiet on these lists lately. More on that later. For now, I've done a bit of triage on the SF bug reports, and I hope to have some free time over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, so my priority will be to nail as many bugs as possible, and get another beta out asap. It's likely that unless I screw up royally, that that will be the last beta. We need a period of time where the translators can do their final updates before the final release, and time's running short. Here's my self-imposed schedule: beta6: 02-Dec-2002 rc1: 09-Dec-2002 rc2: 16-Dec-2002 (if necessary) final: 23-Dec-2002 This gives me some Xmas slip time if there are critical last minute bugs. My intention is for translators to get their last updates in between rc1 and final (but don't wait if you have stuff ready!). I'll be very reluctant to change any templates or marked strings between rc1 and final. Cheers, and happy holidays, -Barry

[ mailman-Feature Requests-604841 ] simulate bounce

This would simply send an invalid address message back to the sender. Usually used for spam emails with members only posting. Would greatly reduce spam as the invalid address would be removed by most automated spamming systems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=604841&group_i…

[ mailman-Bugs-641564 ] quoted-printable in pipermail

Bugs item #641564, was opened at 2002-11-20 18:38 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=641564&group_i… Category: Pipermail >Group: 2.0.x Status: Open Resolution: None >Priority: 1 Submitted By: Thomas Krichel (thomaskrichel) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: quoted-printable in pipermail Initial Comment: I am using version on debian 2.0.13-2. Some of my mail list owners send email with quoted- printable encoding. Such emails are distributed with the encoding stripped. In the ???.mbox/???.mbox file, a header that say that the message has quoted-printable encoding is present. After pipermail is run, in the .txt file, the encoding information header is no longer present, but the encoding is not decoded. This is annoying as some of many of our mails have urls. The urls fail to resolve because of the encoding.
