Re: [Mailman-Users] Importing Eudora email box into archives

Cool, I will try it out. How to preserve the attachments?
This is a problem.
I looked more closely at a Eudora .mbx file and I see that the MIME structure of the messages is not preserved. The messages are 'flattened' - the outer Content-Type: header is preserved, but all boundaries and part headers are removed and non-text attachments are stored aside with a pointer left in the message.
Thus, the messages in the Eudora .mbx file are vaguely similar to messages that have been scrubbed by Mailman's Scrubber.py module, except the Content-Type: of the Eudora message is no longer correct which will probably confuse the Mailman bin/arch process.
Thus, converting the Eudora .mbx will probably require a fairly involved script. I'm not aware of an existing one.

Bob Bales did speak thusly:
What does it mean when a message is kocked back due to:
Cause: Message has implicit destination ---------------- End original message. ---------------------
This means that the list address was not explicitly on the To: line of the e-mail header and was probably included as a Bcc:
Dragon
Venimus, Saltavimus, Bibimus (et naribus canium capti sumus)

It means that Privacy options...->Recipient filters->require_explicit_destination is Yes and neither the list posting address nor any acceptable_aliases were found in the To: or Cc: headers of the post.

It also that some listserves won't respond when their address is listed bcc: . It's a total pain that a sender who prefers addressing to lists of bcc: addresses has to persuade the owner of some mailman lists to reconfigure so as to accept posting to their list under bcc; the alternative is to post separately to such lists -- which means identiofying which owners don't care about other posters privacy wishes.
