Hello everybody,
I just started using mailman for a mailing list (for what else :) and was wondering about the following: When somebody posts an email with some file as an attachment, let's say for example a word document, then the email gets archived with the attachment encoded in some sort of uuencode format. Can I tell mailman to dump this attachment into some file depository and leave it the way it is instead? It otherwise seems a little bit difficult to retrieve those encoded attachments from the archive at some later date.
Thanks already for any replies,
nick

Actually, pipermail _is_ leaving it the way it is. Email clients generally encode attachments in some form, UU or base64 or some-such, making them MIME attachments, before sending. Pipermail doesn't know MIME and just dumps everything as if it were raw text.
