[Mailman-Developers] Mailman w/WebDav integration

To put it bluntly, it works great.   We have had it in production for over two  
months now and it has proven to be excellent.  In particular, our current  
system:

- decodes all incoming attachments

- files attachments to a remote web server via the WebDAV protocol [including  
using Dav properties to describe the attachment;  size, encoding, extra  
information]

- rewrites the message such that it contains URLs to the attachments where the  
original attachment was

- archives the rewritten message [again, via Dav]

- sends a copy of the message to a [proprietary] process via HTTP

- provides a raw HTTP based interface for programmatically administrating an  
individual mailing list's configuration

- provides means by which a user can be given an URL to download an attachment  
where that URL automatically becomes invalid after a certain amount of time

- provides means by which any attachment in the archive can be automatically  
re-encoded, re-attached to a message and sent to any user as a standard email  
w/attachment

And it probably does some other stuff I can't remember. :-)

In any case, the above is based against a 1.2b2 of Mailman-- I have been  
tracking changes to the repository, but recently fell behind.  I plan on  
updating to b4 (or later) relatively soon.   If you use this stuff, have  
questions, or whatever-- PLEASE let me know... I will NOT be able to continue  
donating my time to the continuation of this stuff without some interest from  
the community [and I will not be offended if the community decides it is  
utterly useless... I don't believe that is the case].

thanks!
