[Mailman-Users] text/html problem

Sun Jul 16 17:41:54 CEST 2006

Mailman Gurus,

One of my list members is sending messages to one of my list as follows:

MIME-version: 1.0
Content-type: text/html; format=flowed
<x-html><!x-stuff-for-pete base="" src="" id="0" charset="iso-8859-1/macintosh"><html>...

At first, the message was rejected as having an unacceptable content. Adding 
text/html to the list of 'pass_mime_types' got her past that rejection.

But now, while the message now got through, the message contents did not.

Other text/html messages are passing through, but with charset="" instead, so I assume
that that might be part of the problem.

The settings as they appear in the 'Content filtering' section are:

Filter? 
Yes

Remove attachments of matching content type: 
None

Remove attachments not matching content type:
multipart/mixed
multipart/alternative
text/plain
text/html

Convert text/html to plain text:
Yes

Action:
Reject

Mailman 2.1.5 on OS X Server

Thanks in advance for any hints (yes, I searched for text/html,
charset and iso-8859-1 in the archive, but found only stuff releated to
footers.

Allan
