[Mailman-Users] Mime conversions - missing carriage returns andoddcharacters

[Mike Starr]

Butting in here where I probably don't belong (I'm speaking here more as a mailing list end user than as a list administrator) but as simple as that wish is, it ain't gonna happen. I subscribe to a number of mailing lists, some of them mailman powered, some of them lyris-powered and some of them yahoo-powered. I always subscribe to the digest version and while mailman and yahoo do the best job of building digests, no amount of harping, whining, cajoling and/or threatening will get end users to modify their email clients to use plain text and as far as more exotic settings like multipart/alternative it just ain't gonna happen. The best option I've seen is one list that blanket rejects any post in HTML. Getting end-users to go to plain text is a losing battle.

If your client would post plain text or even multipart/alternative, we
wouldn't have to convert the html.

See <http://www.expita.com/nomime.html#eudora5> (hopefully it also
applies to Eudora 7.)
