[Mailman-Users] HTML messages in list archives

[Christopher Jackson]

I'm not sure if this has been discussed, but my searches have not turned up the appropriate results.

My users send HTML formatted mail from Microsoft Outlook XP SP-2 clients.  Content filtering is off since enabling it prevents messages from being delivered at all; however, when looking at the mailing list archive the message is stripped to the point of being useless.

For example, if I send a simple HTML formatted text message with the subject "Testing (post1)" and the body text as just my signature block (as shown in this message after the "--") all is good.

As soon as the HTML message gets more complicated (e.g. contains images, text formatting using HTML tags, etc.) the following is returned in the archive:

Skipped content of type multipart/alternative-------------- next part --------------
A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I don't see any notice of discard in /usr/local/mailman/logs/vette and the message is delivered to list members.  Is there anyway to have all parts of the message converted to plain text?  My mm_cfg.py is as follows:

DEFAULT_URL         = 'http://mailman.avaki.com/mailman/'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST    = 'mailman.avaki.com'
DEFAULT_HOST_NAME   = 'avaki.com'
SMTPHOST = 'bastion01.avaki.com'
SMTPPORT = 25
MAILMAN_OWNER     = 'mailman-owner at avaki.com'
DEFAULT_ARCHIVE = On
DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_PRIVATE = 1
ARCHIVE_SCRUBBER = 'Mailman.Handlers.Scrubber'
ARCHIVE_HTML_SANITIZER = 3
USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER = No
DEFAULT_SUBJECT_PREFIX  = "[%(real_name)s] "
DEFAULT_MSG_HEADER = ""
DEFAULT_MSG_FOOTER = ""
SMTP_MAX_SESSIONS_PER_CONNECTION = 800
