Four simple questions not answered by the FAQ.

Four basic questions
- I have 12 lists I want to be plain text
- I want them to have NO attachments
Where are the (setup) switches to make the above happen?
- I want to have a single page for moderation efforts.
Where is or how do I do this?
- Why can I not see all 30 or 50 members of a list as we used to in pre 2.1.x??
Where is that switch?
This IS the "factory" list for Mailman, right? Or should I be going to another source?
thanks chas

I use stripmime. You can insert the MIME strippers in the alias file for your MTA (sendmail or postfix ...). The version of stripmime I use is a perl script, and strips all attachments, when presented with alternative text/html, it selects text. When presented with html only it converts that to plain text. http://www.phred.org/~alex/stripmime.html While this is not integrated into mailman, it strips the messages first, but allows them to post. While I have not yet installed the most recent mailman, I found that mailman tends to reject messages with attachments, including MIME digital signatures.

chas,
Here are some answers, anyway.

On the list admin page, go to the Content Filtering section. Change "Should Mailman filter ..." to Yes. If you leave the rest at default values, including Yes for "Should Mailman convert text/html parts to plain text?", your list will only have plain text messages with no attachments.
- I want to have a single page for moderation efforts.
Where is or how do I do this?
Not sure what you mean by this. You mean instead of having different "Sections" with a menu at the top, you want everything on one page? I can look at the code and see if I can figure anything out along these lines if you want.
- Why can I not see all 30 or 50 members of a list as we used to in pre 2.1.x??
Where is that switch?
Have you tried changing or setting DEFAULT_ADMIN_MEMBER_CHUNKSIZE in mm_cfg.py? The description is in Defaults.py.
This IS the "factory" list for Mailman, right? Or should I be going to another source?
Hmmm. Don't know what you mean. This is not the developer list. Mostly people answer who are other users.
