It works exactly like the header check, except the message body (after base64/quoted-printable decoding) is scanned. You will need to remove and re-add any lists that you want to use this feature on after installing it. Make sure you get a new Defaults.py as well. The patch is pretty clean. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry A.

[ mailman-Patches-651406 ] MM 2.0.13 to 2.1b5 upgrade fails

The MailList class is derived from the classes TopicMgr and Bouncer (amongst others). 2. The MailList __init__ function calls the __init__ functions of its superclasses if they have that function; which they do not in the case of the of TopicMgr and Bouncer classes 3. The MailList __init__ function calls its own InitTempVars function which in turn calls the InitTempVars functions of MailList's superclasses if they have that function; which they do not in the case of the of class TopicMgr and Bouncer classes 4. The MailList __init__ function does not call the InitVars functions of the TopicMgr and Bouncer classes which is why self.topics and self.delivery_status are undefined attributes of the MailList instance being created; these being instance variables introduced by MM 2.1b5 and missing from MM 2.0.13 instance of the MailList class which is what is being dealt with at the time the update is being done. Adding the following definition to the TopicMgr and Bouncer class definitions seem to clear the problem although whether this is the best log-tem solution is questionable: InitTempVars = InitVars ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2002-12-23 22:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 I'm closing this one since I've added language to the UPGRADING file alerting people to this (although I suspect the Pinball Machine Rule will apply).

Changing the comparisom to this solves the problem: if (type(self.data_version) is type (mm_cfg.DATA_FILE_VERSION) and \ self.data_version >= mm_cfg.DATA_FILE_VERSION) or \ (type(self.data_version) is type(()) and \ self.data_version[0] >= mm_cfg.DATA_FILE_VERSION): ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2002-12-10 08:13 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 I was wrong about my hack working because on using the web admin GUI to update lists I got the error feedback given below. The problem seems to be more deep seated in that the InitVars function of the MailList class does not seem to get called to initialse the MailList instance variables when loading an existing list via the __init__ function but only through the Create member function called from newlist and cgi create.py. At first blush I would think that MailList InitVars function should be called from the class' __init__ function before loading an existing instance's data into the instance variables; but with three functions initialisation functions, __init__, InitTempVars and InitVars, I'm getting confused as to which are supposed to do what and when.

[ mailman-Patches-655214 ] Fix archiving

Patches item #655214, was opened at 2002-12-17 09:49 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=655214&group_i… Category: Pipermail Group: Mailman 2.1 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Submitted By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Fix archiving Initial Comment: This patch restores MIME charset capabilities for article archiving in CVS mailman. It: - removes the .charset attribute from articles; all articles are encoded in the list's charset, - decodes subject and author to Unicode; if this fails, no decoding (not even MIME) is done to subject and author, - MIME-decodes the body in the constructor using get_payload, removes the hand-crafted qp decoding from _get_body, - Unicode-decodes the body in the constructor if the body's charset differs from the list's charset, - fixes processbody_URLquote to always return byte strings (by escaping the URL also); comparing the old and the new string is no longer possible since the old string is Unicode and the new string is a list-encoded byte string. - changes text archiving to have the archives in the list's encoding, with unsupported characters 'replace'd - Fixes a bug in the scrubber, where a content-transfer-encoding might have survived flattening of the message. With these changes, I can process the playground archives correctly, to get mojibake-free pages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2002-12-23 21:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 I like this patch and will now apply it.

Things that need fixing: * The generated RSS feed needs to be validated. (It passed the W3C's RDF validator, but RSS validators still need to be checked.) * The date should be given in YYYY-MM-DD format, which requires parsing the .fromdate attribute. * How do I get the URL for an archived message? The generated RSS currently just uses the filename, which is wrong. How do I get at the PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL setting? * Getting the most recent N postings is inefficient; the code loops through all of the archived messages and takes the last N of them. We could add .last() and .prev() methods to the Database class, but that's more ambitious for 2.1beta than I like.
