Dear List We receive e-mails with dead keys and keep them in HTML OK, but when we list the title by subject for example(Web), the subject in site looks like this [linuxrj] =?iso-8859-1?Q?Estudos_Ava=E7ados__-_Instalando_o_Red_Hat_Linux_7.3_com_u?= =?iso-8859-1?Q?ma_placa_m=E3e_SiS_?= But the correct is [linuxrj] Estudos Avaçados - Instalando o Red Hat Linux 7.3 com uma placa mãe SiS with dead keys We use portguese-BR Example: http://gral.com.br/pipermail/linuxrj/2002-October/subject.html Thanks Flávio Brito Brasil

I have exactly the same problem as Mariano, with RedHat. What are the "features"? How do we circumvent them? Thanks. Jon Carnes wrote: >Are you installing this on a Linux box? What Distribution?

FW: [Mailman-Users] checkdbs cron job fails

-----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Summers Sent: Thursday, October 03, 2002 4:00 PM To: 'Ken Carson' Subject: RE: [Mailman-Users] checkdbs cron job fails I just fixed this problem. For me, it was because on two of my lists, the request.db had gotten corrupted somehow. Request.db is located at mailman/lists/<listname>/request.db. I fixed it by overwriting the two corrupt ones with a good one from a new test list that I created. It should only have a size of 2 when it is blank. Before I fixed it, I was also unable to tend to administrative tasks for those two lists, but I didn't know because I'm not the administrator for them. The administrator hasn't been doing anything with it. Hope this helps...

I have run into a problem that, when I sent a message with attachments, the users who had digest messages selected did not receive the attachments. Is there a way to correct this?

Edit a message then approve it
by Kory Wheatley 04 Oct '02

04 Oct '02

I have tried the below documentation for editing a held message then approving it or sending it through, but it does not work. Steps: I forward the message to myself and click on the Reply-to, to bring it up for editing and then I edit the message (I'm using netscape messenger to do so). How do I do this part of the documentation " - Resend the message to the list using a Resent-To: header containing the list posting address." There is no Resent-To: header option when you compose a message in the Netscape Mail Client, so then I put the Approval Header in the very first line of the body of the message "Approved:password" which I use the site mailman password. I send the message off (which I use the mailman mailing list address), and the message is sent to me with the "Approval:password" in the first line of the message, the reason it was not held for approval is because I allow my subscribed email to post without approval but the message did not edit properly, because it shows the Approval:password in the first line of the body. What I'm I doing wrong. 3.9. How do I edit a held message before approving it for the list? Here's how to do this: - Use the "forward this message" feature in the admindb page to forward the message to yourself. - At the same time, discard the original held message. You may want to do this later, after you're sure the message was properly forwarded to you. - Edit the message in your mail reader. You should include a notice in the message explaining that the list moderator has edited the message. Please use proper netiquette! - Resend the message to the list using a Resent-To: header containing the list posting address. Also include an Approved: header containing the list's admin password. Viola! The edited message should be forwarded to the list membership. ========== Alternatively, you can edit the actual held message found in ~mailman/data/... The message will be in a file called heldmsg-<listname>-<number>.txt You can use "grep" to find the message, and your favorite editor to change it. Once you have modified the message, feel free to approve it. The web-interface shows you a portion of the message that has been copied into a database called request.db. When you edit the message via the web-interface you are actually editing the portion captured in request.db and not the original message. Approval of the message sends the actual held message from ~mailman/data/.. ========== Note for Mailman 2.1: the second suggestion about doesn't work so well because by default, held messages are stored on disks in a more efficient binary representation called a "pickle". Pickles aren't normally editable. If you still want to use the second suggestion, you might want to set HOLD_MESSAGES_AS_PICKLES in ListAdmin.py to 0, which tells Mailman to store them using the older, less efficient, plaintext representation instead of pickles. I still don't like the second suggestion much because it is limited to only those who have access to the system disk and command line. Also, in MM2.1 the admindb interface doesn't fool you into thinking you can edit the message, as the text areas are now read-only.
