Works like a charm, thanks.

So, now that I have a temporary fix - how can I recompose a message
and sort the attachments? I don't mind if I have to code this myself,
I would just appreciate a hint on where to start. For now, a single
algorithm like (pseudo code):

,----[ resort message parts ]
| init list_of_text_parts = empty;
| init list_of_NON_text_parts = empty;
| init new_message = empty;
|
| for part in msg.walk();
|     if part.get_content_type() <> 'text/plain'
|         list_of_NON_text_parts.add(part);
|     else
|          list_of_text_parts.add(part);
|
| for part in list_of_text_parts.walk();
|     message.append(part);
|
| for part in list_of_NON_text_parts.walk()
|     message.append(part);
`----

would absolutely be sufficient. I'm just not familiar enough with
Mailman yet to know exactly where to add this code (I don't speak a
single line of Python yet, either, but what I wanna do is not really
rocket science). Anyways, any help you could give me on that subject
would be greatly appreciated.


Ciao
Stefan
