[Mailman-Users] HTML Newsletter Setup

Fri Sep 8 02:17:00 CEST 2006

I've setup a MM2.1.5 newsletter list and set it up to accept emails with the
option added in the first line of the email Approved: password.

Problem is I can't get it to accept an HTML file formatted email without
messing up my HTML and removing the Approved: password line.

The file looks like this:

Approved: password

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>

    <head> rest of HTML here

The HTML email is sent by the list but the HTML is largely removed and the
Approved: password is left in.

I've also set the Content filtering=>remove message attachments to blank and
the Should Mailman convert... to No.

The following is included in the HTML email:

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=AppleScriptHTMLbreak
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new at
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-2.355 tagged_above=-999 required=20
 tests=ALL_TRUSTED, AWL, BAYES_00, HTML_MESSAGE, MIME_HTML_MOSTLY,
 MPART_ALT_DIFF
X-Spam-Level: 

--AppleScriptHTMLbreak
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

--AppleScriptHTMLbreak
Content-Type: multipart/related; type="text/html";
   boundary=AppleScriptBreak
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

This is an HTML email

--AppleScriptBreak
Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Any ideas? 

TIA
