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!

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...

I'm moving this to the 2.2/3.0 group since we're in feature freeze for 2.1
