[Mailman-Developers] Global Pipeline question

[Kory Wheatley]

I'm currently using Mailman 2.1.4 with Postfix on a Red Hat Enterprise 
Verison 3 workstation.

I would like to use the scrubber.patch to put attachments has a viewable 
link in the archives, "which is working", but I also want the attachment 
completely stripped from the email message.  Here's my problem, if I 
enable content filtering to strip the attachments, scrubber never puts 
the attachment as a link in the archives.  I thought it might be a 
Global Pipeline issue, so
I changed the sequence of the global pipeline "as shown below", and put 
Scrubber as the first Handler to be processed and of course put this in 
"mm_cfg.py" and restarted Mailman.  Still,  the content filtering strips 
the attachments like I want, but  scrubber never puts the attachment as 
a link in the archives.

Does the sequence of the Pipeline affect this process, is there a way to 
do what I want?  Also is there documentation that shows a step by step 
process that a message goes through before delivery?  I would love to 
see this, it would help me understand the process that Mailman does to 
prepare a message for delivery.

I manage 200 lists at Idaho State Univeristy, and Mailman is a very 
critical application for us, which makes this task very important and in 
a rush to get accomplished.

I would appreciate your help.
