This is quite confusing. A warning should be printed if arch is started on a list where there is already stuff in the web archive. Optionally it could delete the files is is regenerating first. Details: arch seems to attach each mail again to the .txt monthly archive files here and then build the web archive out of this. No wonder that the mail I deleted is still in after the process.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=419992&group_i…

CommandRunner._dispose could check for this after it calls Replybot.process(), I think. Or if the feature was intentionally left out, it could be left out of the web interface too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=637410&group_i…

After creating the mbox file with a perl script na dtesting it with pine (to make sure all the email is acuallu there), I tried to import it using arch. there are a few thousand emails in the file, but arch only finds 2? I posted to the mm users mailing list and got a reply from Larry Weeks, said to send him a copy of the file, and he tested it with bin/arch from 2.0.6 and it works as expected. since the mbox file is readable by pine, shouldn't arch handle it correctly? email me if i can provide any thing that would help diagnose the problem. thanks... fuzzy(a)pooh.asarian.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=616674&group_i…

[ mailman-Bugs-540978 ] List-* header multiline split bug

It seems that mailman can not handle with such long names, because in the subscribe-mail (which you have to answer to be in the list) the first columns are some things from the header (unsubscribe: xxx(a)lists.xxx and so on). Whith names like atest(a)lists.kommunikationssystem.de it works. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2002-08-23 17:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 Changing the summary ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2002-08-15 00:37 Message: Logged In: NO I just installed mailman and can confirm this bug as well. When the list address + hostname is too long (in my case the listname was north-texas-stovebolters- club(a)stovebolt.stovebolt.com -- 52 characters total) the headers overflow into the body of the message. The "break point" was at the List Subscribe line: ******************* This is header: List-Subscribe: <http://stovebolt.stovebolt.com/mailman/listinfo/north- texas-stovebolters-club>, (total of 94 characters before the split) ******************* This is body <mailto:north-texas-stovebolters-club- request(a)stovebolt.stovebolt.com?subject=subscribe> List-Unsubscribe: <http://stovebolt.stovebolt.com/mailman/listinfo/north- texas-stovebolters-club>, <mailto:north-texas-stovebolters-club- request(a)stovebolt.stovebolt.com?subject=unsubscribe> List-Archive: <http://stovebolt.stovebolt.com/pipermail/north-texas- stovebolters-club> List-Help: <mailto:north-texas-stovebolters-club- request(a)stovebolt.stovebolt.com?subject=help> Sender: north-texas-stovebolters-club- bounces(a)stovebolt.stovebolt.com Errors-To: north-texas-stovebolters-club- bounces(a)stovebolt.stovebolt.com ************************ This is the initial text of the message that was posted. I'm sure that I'll be there. :-) **************************** It looks like there's a line break or line limit that's causing the problem. Perhaps it's line 33: MAXLINELEN = 78 The first line that breaks (in my case) is a line that has 94 characters in the first part, none of which can be separated (no spaces or line breaks, just continuous text.) The very next line drops to the body. I believe giuans is correct that the problem is in the wrap section of the code, because the break occurs immediately after a comma, which, if I'm understanding the code correctly, is inserted by the program after an overlength line occurs, to split the line at 78 (or as close to that as it can get.) I think the correct fix would be to add the "h" portion subsequent to the split so that each line in the header would have the required semi-colon to indicate that it's header. If the MTA sees a line with no semicolon, it's going to think that it's body text, not header. ***************** Present code: if len(h) + 2 + len(v) > 78: v = CONTINUATION.join(v.split(', ')) msg[h] = v ****************** Possible fix if len(h) + 2 + len(v) > 78: v=CONTINUATION.join(h + v.split(',')) msg[h] = v or something like that. (I haven't worked with php, so I'm not familiar with its functions and syntax.) The idea is to split a line like this: Line exceeds 78 characters? h+v, h+ rest of v HTH. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jean Millerat (drsigmund) Date: 2002-07-04 04:13 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=70686 I have reached the same bug with mailing list adresses such as <11 characters>@<30 characters> whereas <8 characters>@<30 characters> works properly. The effect of this bug is that the headers of the subcription annoucement or any further email from the list are "mangled" as was said on [mailman-developers]. As an example when one of the List-* header line is too long, it is broken in two parts (and the second part is indented). Since then, Outlook (and I suppose other email clients) think this second part of the broken header line is the beginning of the body of the message. Therefore the remaining headers are sent as part of the body of the message ! I think this bug does not only occur with too long email adresses but may occur with too long header lines whichever line it is (even with the Subject line especially when this subject line is very long because of quoted-printable characters). See [mailman-developers] for the description of maybe the same bug, in mails dealing with headers being "mangled". My current workarounds : - using short mailing list names. - and not sending quoted-printable characters within subject lines. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Giovanni Lopedote (giuans) Date: 2002-05-02 10:27 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=531451 I've found it.

When someone subscribes through the web interface (listinfo page), the list admin will receive an invalid email if subscription notification has been turned on. The email contains the content of adminsubscribeack.txt, but no string interpolation is done. This is not the case if subscribing using the mail command interface or subscribed by the admin using the admin page. Also, if the subscribing user chooses a different language than the list language, the email notification sent to the admin will have a Subject: according to the list language, but body according to what the subscribing user chose. Which is probably not what we want... ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=629616&group_i…
