Re: [Mailman-Developers] [Mailman-Users] filename too long error - stopping list

Hi Michael,
You can set Scrubber.py not to use the orginal filename in the message by adding followin line in mm_cfg.py (mailman-2.1.6 and above).
SCRUBBER_DONT_USE_ATTACHMENT_FILENAME = True
Developers,
May be we should set this default in Defaults.py.in in the next release of 2.1.7. Thoughts?

I think that's a good idea. Very few users have any idea what the file name is (and their programs have less, lots of my colleagues send files with names beginning ESC $ B -- which are the escape codes to switch to Japanese! the programs don't know how to encode them properly) They just click on the link. So I think it's mostly harmless.
We should provide a FAQ for the admins who do want the feature.
For 2.2 we should think about truncating the buffer.

It's probably a good idea, but also as Stephen says, it might be a good idea to shorten the filename (keeping the extension) even when this value is left as False.
