[Mailman-Users] pending request email unreadable

[Guillaume Chartrand]

The admin_immed_notify is already set to Yes. The moderator receive a notification that they had pending request but on the notification they don't have the email who's moderated.

I will try to upgrade to other version like Mark Sapiro saids

Thank you

In older releases, base64 and quoted-printable encoded message bodies were not decoded for display in the admindb interface. This is a bug <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/629738>. It was fiuxed in Mailman 2.1.4.

Install Mailman 2.1.14 from source. If you are using a RedHat package, see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/KYCB> and the mailman-developers post linked therefrom before you do this.

Alternatively, you can copy the base64 encoded text and paste it into a stand alone decoder.

Or, as Ralf suggests, if you set admin_immed_notify to Yes for the list, you will get an email notice of the held post which should be readable.
