[Mailman-Users] forwarding messages from one list to another not asattachments

[David Beaumont]

I'm getting confused.  To clarify, in Mailman 2.1.8 content filtering terms:
we are 'filtering the content' , 
we are not 'removing message attachments that have a matching content type' 
we are 'removing message attachments that don't match multipart/mixed,
multipart/alternative or text/plain', 
we are removing message attachments that match exe, bat, cmd,
com,pif,scr,vbs,cpl ', 
we are 'collapsing multipart/alternative to its first part content', 
we are converting text/html parts to plain text.  

is that solution 2?  By the way I still don't know how to configure solution
1.  

thanks for your time

David
