Pipermail Attachment Problem
by David Eisner Jan. 31, 2003

Jan. 31, 2003

I just installed Mailman 2.1, and somebody noticed that for Word file attachments, the attachment link in the archives showed up as ".dot" rather than ".doc". When I tested it out, my attachment was just a string of gibberish characters. I did some research and found Bug 669081. So I took the latest Scrubber.py from CVS (2.24), and swapped it into the 2.1 sources, rebuilt Mailman, and installed it. Now my attachment isn't gibberish anymore, but it has an ".obj" extension. I realize … [View More]

by Marc Perkel Jan. 31, 2003

Jan. 31, 2003

In Mailman 2.0 there was a setting for the default URL. I can't seem to find it in 2.1. I need to change the default URL for all my lists. Any easy way to do this?

2nd request: migrating a list from 1.1 to 2.1 hosts?
by Tom Neff Jan. 31, 2003

Jan. 31, 2003

There seem to be some other threads capturing people's attention, but Barry has logged in and sent mail a couple of times :), so I'm assuming this fell through the cracks. I have some lists on a host running MM1.1, and a new host running MM2.1. I need to move the 1.1 lists over to the new host. Is there a robust way to do this?

Cannot get rid of default footers
by mailman＠snixthecat.com Jan. 31, 2003

Jan. 31, 2003

I've read several of the posts about changing the footers. I've made changes to the footer in the non-digest and digest options, but they do not get applied. I've also emabled personalization, but did not see any other options. Is there somewhere else I should look? Thanks Mike

[Mailman 2.1] Is it possible to pre-approve a message?
by Marc Haber Jan. 31, 2003

Jan. 31, 2003

Hi, we have a mailing list of customers that we use to send out announcements about service problems, bad lines and general information. Nobody should be able to send e-mail to that list except the people allowed to do so. Since e-mail senders are easily forged, we have currently set all list members to moderated (including the people allowed to send to the list, who are also moderators). When a message goes out to the list, the author sends it, gets back the approval request and approves her … [View More]

Mailman, Gmane, & "non-text attachements removed"?
by David Gibbs Jan. 31, 2003

Jan. 31, 2003

Folks: I've got a problem with some of my subscribers that are using the gmane.org news server to read mailing lists. I run my lists with Mailman 2.1. These subscribers (myself included) post messages to the list via the news server, and the messages go out to the regular subscribers, and gmane.org, without a problem ... however, when the message is included in a digest, it just shows up as "--- non-text attachment removed ---" (or something to that effect). I do have Mailman 2.1's content … [View More]

I was going to add this FAQ entry, but I realize that I don't have a password to do that and I have to leave for a meeting right now. If someone wants to add this, feel free to do it.

[Bug] Cookie from older version
by william+mm＠hq.newdream.net Jan. 31, 2003

Jan. 31, 2003

If you have an old cookie from Mailman 2.0.x, you'll have to re-login for every page until you manually clear the cookie from your browser (after upgrading to 2.1). Is there any way to fix this in the future? With some browsers, it's not simple to remove an individual cookie. -- "Since when is skepticism un-American?
