The question is what to do? The attachments are not really stored "in the archive". They are just stored in a web accessible place with a known, hopefully valid URL. In fact, if the list does do archiving and is digestible, the scrubbed attachments are stored twice, once for the archive and linked from the archive and once for the digest and linked from the digest. (This duplication probably is a bug, but not one I know how to fix for MM 2.1.)
If the list is digestable, any MIME parts which are not text/plain with known character set cannot be directly included in the plain (RFC 1153) format digest. They either have to be stored aside in some accessible place and linked from the digest, or a note can be put in the digest that an attachment has been removed and if you want attachments in the future switch to messages or the MIME digest, or the attachments can be silently ignored. I suppose this choice could be a site or list setting, instead of being fixed at the first alternative, but I think this is properly called a design decision, not a bug. -- attachments archived even when archiving disabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/266317 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. _______________________________________________ Mailman-coders mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-coders
