Hey all,
I'm running mailman-2.1 on a redhat 7.3 box with postfix-1.1.7-2, courier-imap-1.6.2-1.7.3, squirrelmail-1.2.10, php-4.1.2-7.3.6, and python2-2.2.2-3.7.3
When I send a message to the mailman list from SM, the test of the message is in an attachment, not in the text area of the message.
When I send a message to the list from pine-4.44-7.73.0, the test of the message shows in the text area of the message.
This is a brand new mailman deployment with thousands of potential users and an invite to join the list already sent to a huge announce list, so getting this fixed is critical. I'm curious about the server-side configuration for this list and what the problem could be.
Any information needed to debug will be sent on request.
Thanks
Kindest Regards, Keith Mastin

I did check the archives before I sent the first message, and AFAIK my message from last week was the only one I could find with this issue. I did just go to the archives, but the patches there seems to all be for earlier versions, and supposedly 2.1 is supposed to have MIME capabilities for html email.

Thanks for the link. I just applied the patch and ran a test from galeon with the same results (text only in attachment). I did not, however, uninstall mailman, just ran make install right over top of the original. Does this make a difference? (I have zero experience with patching.)
Here's the output from applying the patch: [root@mail mailman]# cd Mailman/Handlers/ [root@mail Handlers]# patch -p1 < /home/kmastin/Decorate.py missing header for unified diff at line 3 of patch (Stripping trailing CRs from patch.) can't find file to patch at input line 3 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was:
|--- /home/mailman/src/Release_2_1-maint/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Decorate.py Wed Jan 8 11:13:38 2003 |+++ Decorate.py Wed Jan 8 16:27:01 2003
File to patch: Decorate.py patching file Decorate.py
Thanks again.
