Custom footer based on sender's email
I need to figure out how to add a footer to an e-mail coming from a specific user. I just can't seem to figure this out. I have created a module to weed out the address, but now I need to munge the body of the message.

You will need to do several things.
set OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION = Yes in mm_cfg.py so you can do
set the list's personalize option (in Non-digest options) to Yes so you will be sending separately to each recipient, then
see Mailman/Handlers/Decorate.py for the current code that adds personalized headers and footers. You either have to make your changes here or in Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py in the verpdeliver() function.

Actually I just learned that not only do I need to add a footer, I have to remove the current footer of the incoming message. I got custom footer piece to work now, but now I actually need to edit the body of the message. What might be the best way of doing this?

The logic behind this might be difficult. How to know where the user's message starts and their footer begins?

Was hoping to use some regular expression and just remove some lines. The lines I need to remove will always be the same.

The problem is that it won't always the the same. As you see below, now the footer has "> " in front of each line. Another reply from a different MUA might add a different prefix and wrap a line or two. There isn't much you can count on here.
FWIW, my initial thought to the question was "user training".

That is the thing, it will be the same everytime. It is a message automatically generated from a message board, unfortunatly, we are out-sourcing the message board and they are not capable to change the footer on a user level.

You can delete the incoming footer in the same place you add the new one. You can do something like
pl = msg.get_payload(decode=True)
re.sub(pattern_matching_old_footer, replacement_footer, pl)
msg.set_payload(pl)-- Mark Sapiro <msapiro@value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan
Ok, I have been trying to use this in several places without success. I have added to the Decorate.py and even tried to add it to my custom module used for a global incoming gateway. I replaced the re.sub line with:
re.sub('AZ', 'new text', pl)
In the message that I send, I only put AZ in the body of the message. I do not get any errors, but nothing happens to the message. The AZ does not get replaced.
Is there something else I need to do to get this working. I am about to use procmail to do this, which I really wanted to avoid, as it will add another step to the process.

I need to see more context around what you are doing to understand what's failing. Something like a 'diff -u' between your modified Decorate.py and the base.

This is the diff on the Decorate.py I have also tried putting it other placed throught the script without success. There will be an if statement that will grap the senders e-mail address so this only happens to mail coming from my global gateway.

I was aware of the if not header and not footer: return And made sure that wasn't a problem. But it seems I was probably exiting out someplace else.

Due to a change in the Message board, the messages come through as multipart/mixed.
If I try to run this in the multipart/mixed section of Decorate.py, I get:
TypeError: expected string or buffer.
What needs to be done to make this work properly?
Thanks -Rob

I found a fix the the problem. Charset is set to UTF-8, and I changed it to us-ascii, and it works great now.

Ok, I got this piece kind of working, but there is a problem with this.
This is my search and replace string, and the search at this point doesn't matter.
pl = re.sub('lksjdfsdf', 'new text', pl)
Here is the last part of the body, it is all contained in one line:
"You received this e-mail because you are currently subscribed to this message board alert. To unsubscribe from this alert, or to change your settings to receive a digest version instead, please visit My Alerts."
After this message goes through mailman, this is how it comes out on the other side:
jZ;]yay%"hh?hjfzjCj?k-yM:4r^=JjgV'qbs OyDKijljw, &g Z,j }z? Ox^=by?m+ m?y?+.n+a?Oy?zS? &~&jWZ zb -z+i?zoz"x?v^j??3 %zl
If I add, or remove a letter to the orginal footer, anywhere, or change any one of the punctuation marks to a letter, it will come through clean, and not garbled.
I am stumped!

It looks OK to me.
Actually, it's not OK. I overlooked the fact that Python strings are immutable and re.sub doesn't (can't) change them in place. Thus,
re.sub('AZ', 'new text', pl)needs to be

Not surprising, since the payload of a multipart message is not the textual contents of the message; it is a list of message objects each of which is one of the sub-parts of the message.

It depends on what the incoming message looks like and what you want the result to be. Perhaps the description of the walk() method (and the other message methods) at <http://docs.python.org/lib/module-email.Message.html> will help.
