Embedded/Externally Linked Images as Attachments
Hello All.
My company uses and has used Mailman for quite some times now to send
out Mailing lists.
We recently upgraded our server and in turn upgraded to 2.1.7 of
Mailman.
Everything seems to be as swell as ever for our PC subscribers.
However for subscribers using Apple Mail and MS Entourage the images
embedded in our eMails are no longer working "perfectly", While in
Apple Mail they all show up inline like always they are also repeated
at the bottom of the eMail as if they were attachments and not
external links. I've viewed the source and see the external links
replaced with "src=cid:par1blahblah@blah.com" is there a way to get
around this? A setting in the admin or setup perhaps?
Is this even Mailman doing this? I can't decide for 100% that it is,
and am not having much luck finding anything addressing this in the
documentation.
Am I overlooking anything?
And Entourage - which I am less worried about because my boss doesn't
use it ;) - looks like it is scrubbing the HTML all together.
Any ideas on any of this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Ryan

This specific issue ("src=cid:par1blahblah@blah.com") appears to be that the MUA (email client) you use to create the mail is downloading the externally linked file and attaching it to the mail as part of a (probably) multipart/related message or message part containing the HTML with references to the attached content.
Have you changed what you use to post the mail?

If you are adding msg_header or msg_footer to the mail, see <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.039.htp>.
If content filtering is off and you are not adding headers or footers, Mailman shouldn't be making any changes to the MIME structure of what you post.
