Category: Pipermail Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 9 Submitted By: Daniel Buchmann (avalon) Assigned to: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Summary: Major attachment handling bug!

Initial Comment: Attachments are not handled correctly. Attached to this bug report is an example email in a mbox file. How to reproduce:

1. create a list called "clasohlson"
2. copy this mbox file to the archive mbox file
3. run bin/arch for the list
4. look at the resulting archive

I will post a followup which will contain the resulting html file I got when doing this.

Applied cleanly, and now there is only one problem left! :D I believe Mailman is supplying the wrong MIME type for the .doc file when the archive is private. Thus, the webbrowser just displays the raw file instead of launching an application that can handle it correctly. I changed the archive to public, and the file was displayed correctly. Thanks for your quick fix so far, this has really helped a lot! (The users of the particular list were depending heavily on the archive for the list, and considered the list completely unuseable without attachments available in the archive.)

Sorry, forget my last comment, the attachment was just fine. My mistake. But attachment naming is still a problem.

Check also the attached "attachment_error.mbox". It contains a single message, with a MS Word document that becomes completely scrambled after going through pipermail...

Applied without problems, but gave me the following error when running bin/arch (not on the mbox I submitted, though):

Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/arch", line 187, in ? main() File "bin/arch", line 175, in main archiver.processUnixMailbox(fp, start, end) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py", line 544, in processUnixMailbox m = mbox.next() File "/usr/lib/python2.2/mailbox.py", line 33, in next return self.factory(_Subfile(self.fp, start, stop)) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Mailbox.py", line 79, in scrubber return mailbox.scrub(msg) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Mailbox.py", line 99, in scrub return self._scrubber(self._mlist, msg) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py", line 145, in process cs = csre.search(part['content-type']) TypeError: expected string or buffer

The offending message had no "Content-Type:" field in its header. (It was, of course, produced by a Microsoft product... ;)

Some issues from my earlier subimtted example that still needs to be fixed: that posted the message.

1. The attachment file name still becomes ".dot", not ".doc" as it should have been. Also, the reported size is wrong (larger) than the actual file.
2. "The attachment was scrubbed" part in the archive web page is still sort of "attached" to the message itself, e.g. to the email signature of the user

And here is the html file in english. Notice the difference. Lots of garbage (also called mojibake?) ;)

Here is the generated html page for the email, if list language is set to norwegian.
