Hi, At : http://domain/mailman/admin/list/?VARHELP=nondigest/personalize There is a typo at : ******* These additional substitution variables will be available for your headers and footers, when this feature is enabled: user_address - The address of the user, coerced to lower case. ******** I do not know the word "coerced", should this not be the word "forced" ?

[ mailman-Patches-634303 ] Recode pipermail templates

Patches item #634303, was opened at 2002-11-06 09:28 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=634303&group_i… Category: Pipermail Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Recode pipermail templates Initial Comment: This patch transparently recodes the pipermail templates and messages if the article and index files have a different encoding than the template language If necessary, HTML character references are generate. If recoding fails, it will proceed without exception, but produce garbage. For messages, this uses a method self._, which first invokes _, then does the recoding. This makes it necessary for _ to go back more than one frame, so the number of frames is now an optional parameter (defaulting to 1). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=634303&group_i…

[ mailman-Patches-634109 ] Decode text parts in multipart messages

Patches item #634109, was opened at 2002-11-05 23:20 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=634109&group_i… Category: Pipermail Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Decode text parts in multipart messages Initial Comment: This patch improves the processing in multipart messages, in particular multipart/alternative. It does so by concatenating all text/plain parts after scrubbing (scrubbing should only leave text/plain parts), and replacing the type of the original multipart message with text/plain. Concatenation of the text parts tries to recode everything into the "main" encoding, which is the encoding of the text/plain part. This could be improved by recoding everything to UTF-8 if switching the main encoding to UTF-8 if some part cannot be recoded to the main encoding. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=634109&group_i…

getting mailman to see a new python install
by Adam Lacey 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

I am trying to get Mailman to "know" that I have a different version of python for it to use to run its scripts. Specifically I compiled in the MySQLdb into python 2.2 and want Mailman to be able to import that module... I can run /usr/bin/python and "import MySQLdb" just fine, but when i add that line of code into any Mailman python class it tells me that it cant import it. So do I need to reinstall mailman with a different configure option to "see" my new version of python? ( dont remember if used that option when installed mailman 2.0) I just used a python2.2.1 rpm to install python by the way. Also, should I just upgrade to mailman 2.1 or the newest release? thanks _________________________________________________________________ Unlimited Internet access -- and 2 months free!

Archiving multipart/alternative messages
by Martin v. Löwis 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

It appears that shawn's archiving problems all originate from the processing of multipart/alternative messages in pipermail. For reference, please have a look at http://digitiy.com/posts/list1.mbox/list1.mbox and the corresponding message http://digitiy.com/posts/list1/2002-November/000000.html I would suggest that pipermail looks for a text-plain part in the message, and tries to render that into HTML, ignoring all other parts. Regards, Martin

[2.1b4] /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib has wrong permissions after make install
by Ben Gertzfield 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

Barry, Using 2.1b4, my friend ran into an issue where everything in /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib was installed with no group or other permissions; his umask was 077, but bin/check_perms doesn't seem to check the permissions of /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib. So everything seemed fine until he tried to go to the admin web interface, which got a traceback. Basically, since /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib's contents were 600 (700 for directories), scripts/driver's import of paths.py failed when paths.py tried to do 'import japanese' from the non-readable /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib. Could we change the makefile and/or check_perms to ensure that all files in mailman/pythonlib are mode 0644, and all directories are 0755? Let me know if you need more information, it should be pretty easy. Ben
