Hello,
We have a problem with email from one user to our list: the body of his email is stripped once Mailman forwards his mail to the list. His very first email to the list, which had to be approved, showed the email body. But once Mailman forwarded it to the list, the body was stripped.
Here's what I think is the relevant bit of header and body:
MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <p>Hi Jason,</p><p> </p><p>My account has been deactivated. I would appreciate if you direct me to re-activate it.</p><p> </p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Shayan</p>
Any ideas?
thanks,
Luke

Check your list's content filtering. Do you accept text/html? What is the filter_action setting?

Hello Mark,
Check your list's content filtering. Do you accept text/html? What is the filter_action setting?
The filter_action is set to convert html mail to plain text. I've used 3 different MUAs to send html formatted mail to Mailman, and depending on the list settings I try, the mail is either passed through as html or converted to plain text without issue.
Could the remote server be munging the headers etc and that causes Mailman to strip everything out from the body?

The various content-type filters are applied before convert_html_to_plaintext. Thus, you must have text/html in pass_mime_types in order to accept and convert the HTML part.
If this is not the answer, there is prfobably some issue with HTML_TO_PLAIN_TEXT_COMMAND. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/7YA9>.
You may be mistaking selection of a text/plain alternative for HTML to plain text conversion.
