Mailman 2.1.4
Red Hat Linux release 7.3 (Valhalla)
We are having problems with HTML to text/plan conversion. We have
applied the fix in
http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg14596.html
and this fixes the problem (HTML->text/plain error: 256) discussed in
that thread.
Problems remain however. Namely, if the HTML part has
Content-Transfer-Encoding: either base64 or quoted-printable, it is
the encoded data that is passed to lynx and the result is that if it's
base64, lynx does essentially nothing and if it's quoted-printable
lynx does what it can, but some tags are munged so some stuff gets
garbled.
I couldn't find anything in the FAQ or bugs list about this.
Is there anything that can be done short of doing a decode of the
encoding before passing to lynx? Are there any patches available that
address this in that or some other way?
