[Mailman-Users] selective mime 'scrubbing' (WITHOUT filtering)

[andReadG]

hi all (again)

my initial question was:

"custom mime precedence?"

I was asking if I can let the text/html part of a
multipart(/alternative) message pass through when
when preceded by the text/plain part AND
followed by something like an application/pdf
part, but keep the pdf in the server
(not filtered-out; kept in the archive for
http download)

The (1st) answer I got seems I was misunderstood
(but thanks anyway Terri). I was advised to
see the 'pass_mime_types' variable (to include
text/html)

-BUT-

I have the 'scrub_nondigest' set to true, so
(simple) filtering is of no help (nor desired;
I don't want the pdf (or any base64 part) phased
out, I just want it stay in the archive area
with a link leading to it in the delivered
mail)

My first impression is that this cannot be
done, at least with the 2.1.6 version I use.
Is this true? Can this be solved If I upgrade
the version?

Again, any suggestion will be of great help!
(as always!)

p.s.

here is the initial question:

and the 1st answer:

 >> What does your pass_mime_types look like for this list?
 >> If you tell it to let text/html through, as well as

 >> text/html
 >> multipart/signed
