Summary: HTML stripped regardless of filters

Initial Comment:
If I enable "content-filtering", HTML is a;ways 
stripped out regardless of my other filter settings. I 
have tried to track this down and it appears that 
MimeDel.py is collapsing ALL multi-part emails to 
a single component. This leaves the plain text but 
strips off the HTML flavored portion.

If I disable content-filtering, MimeDel is 
neutralized and HTML email works OK. 

The suspect function 
is "collapse_multipart_alternatives".

FYI: my test emails were sent from Outlook. 

I posted and emailed to others on the Users mailing 
list, but no one responded that they have gotten 
filtering to work either.

This looks like a real nice feature. I hope you guys 
can fix it.

Barry, thanks for the comment. You may be correct. I was
sending email with a plain/text and text/html component. If
I understand you, this feature was  designed to selectively
filter "EXE" or "ZIP" attachments, not HTML vs plaintext.
  Can you point me to the docs on this? And how do I convert
this bug to a feature request? Or do I just delete? (Can I?).
  Thanks again for the info. 
Charles.

When you say "collapsing ALLmulti-part emails to a single
component", I think you mean all multipart/alternatives.  If
so, this is documented behavior. 

Now, it may not be /desired/ behavior, but that's a
different issue. I would move this to feature requests to
allow you to configure whether multipart/alternatives are
collapsed or not.

Please follow up here and let me know if I'm correct or not.
 If there are other problems with content filtering from
mailman-users, please submit bug reports on each indivdiually.
