Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere....
how do you preserve html formatting in the original message, and at the same time scrub any attachments, without the html being escaped? ie. I'm wanting messages arriving both at a subscribers inbox, and in the archive, to look like the original message (html intact) with only difference from the original being url's replacing attachments. I'm using Mailman 2.1.6 + mhonarc.
Is it possible? I can't seem to set the right combination of options. What options should i set?
thanks.

There's a distinction here between what Mailman does and what mhonarc does. Mailman will either strip any MIME message bodyparts that don't match your specified criteria, or only allow through certain MIME message bodypart types that you specify. It can also convert html-formatted messages into plain text. Other than that, it doesn't do anything to change the formatting of the message.
What mhonarc does to what it gets passed from Mailman, that is a totally separate question which you should bring up with with maintainers of mhonarc.

This is not possible with Pipermail. With Pipermail, the control is ARCHIVE_HTML_SANITIZER which defaults to 1 meaning save any HTML parts as HTML-escaped files referenced by URLs in the archive. Other settings you might want are 2 - Leave it inline, but HTML-escape it or 3 - Remove text/html as attachments but don't HTML-escape them. See the comments in Defaults.py for further information, particularly about the danger of allowing links to unescaped HTML - it exposes you to cross site scripting (XSS) attack.
However, you are using Mhonarc as an external archiver, so this may not apply to your archives. Do you have your list's scrub_nondigest attribute set to yes? If so, the message will be scrubbed according to the above settings before either archiving or non-digest delivery. If scrub_nondigest is set to no, individual messages will be sent as is after content filtering, and the same unscrubbed message will be passed to the external archiver, and from there, what happens is up to Mhonarc.
If you are saying, you want Mailman to scrub the message (by setting scrub_nondigest to yes), then you can't have unescaped, inline HTML without actually modifying the code in Scrubber.py.
