Hi.

Are there anyone on this list currently working on a MIME fix for mailman pipermail archiving? It currently (1.0b8) lack even the simplest MIME support, as far as I understand. If you browse a pipermail archive any

Not just the pipermail archiving lacks any mail support but admindb too.

I think that's a separate issue -- you're talking about quoting special HTML characters. Which, of course, should be done -- but it hasn't got anything to do with MIME.

MIME composed messages appears right out ugly and sometimes unreadable (a matter of skill of course).

I haven't tried this, but wouldn't simply squeezing the mail text through the .unmimify() method of the `mimify' standard Python module before formatting it into HTML work (for the QP/base64 MIME issue, multipart messages is a whole other can of worms)?

Is there a problem with what headers are retained in the mbox-format version of the archive (i.e. are the headers needed for proper MIME decoding stripped from the archive)?
