[Mailman-Users] Change moderated message to plain text

2011-11-16 Thread Clare Redstone
I'm having problems with messages bouncing because they are too large. I'm
pretty sure it's because they're formatted. If I just copy them and change
to plain text, they get through fine. But the from field says they're from
me.

 

I'd rather sort it out by going to the moderation queue in the administrator
web interface and accepting them. Is there a way I can convert them to plain
text at the same time, to keep them short? If I let them through as they
are, then any replies are also too big and are held for moderation and on
and on.

 

Thanks.

Clare

[Mailman-Users] add_members question

2011-11-16 Thread Rob McLear
I would like to be able to add individual members to lists from the command 
line, but I can't figure out the syntax exactly. I don't want to designate a 
file of list names; this is just to add single members without using the web 
interface.

If I type ./add_members -wn -r - listname the shell pauses as if waiting for 
my input, but nothing I type has any effect.

Thanks,

-Rob McLear

Try pressing control-d after you've finished typing, this is the unix 
end-of-file character.

There are a couple of ways to handle this.

See the FAQ at http://wiki.list.org/x/24A9 for one approach.

A better way is to use the list's content filtering to remove any
text/html parts and collapse multipart/alternative to the first part
only.

This will make the message ultimately sent to the list smaller, but
won't stop it being held. If you have access to the Mailman
installation, you can avoid the hold by moving the MimeDel module
ahead of the Hold module in the processing pipeline by adding the
following to mm_cfg.py

#
# Put MimeDel ahead of Hold so too big is based on content filtered
# message.
#
GLOBAL_PIPELINE.remove('MimeDel')
GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(GLOBAL_PIPELINE.index('Hold'), 'MimeDel')

[Mailman-Users] Pegasus Mail does not show message except as an attachment

2011-11-16 Thread Anne Wainwright
Hi,

This occurs on one list that I administer. In fuller detail we have two
issues.

Members want to send .doc file attachments, (and html emails too) and
of course have them arrive. If I have content filtering on  which
allows .doc file attachments then members using Pegasus Mail complain
that the message does not show up on page 1 as it were and has to be
found among the tree of attachments. Under different content filtering
Pegasus Mail users can be satisfied to see the message on page 1 as
it were, but the .doc attachments are no longer there for any one to
see.

I can see the messages plain and clear in Claws email and the .doc
files are of course shown as attachments. I conclude that Pegasus is
somehow at fault in its display of the message as an attachment instead
of as the body of the message (my terminology may be lacking here).

I have searched but can find no answer, do other users find display
issues of mailman content filtered posts with Pegasus Mail?

If I have content filtering off, Pegasus Mail users suffer the same
display issue.

The list has run for years with no complaints. Recently the issue of
sending .doc files has just been raised and it is the provision of pass
rules that seem to put Pegasus users in a whirl.

Anne

Is there a msg_header defined for the list. If so, it will be added as
the first text/plain message part which some MUAs will call the body.
It may look empty but contain white space. If you want the message
header, see the FAQ at http://wiki.list.org/x/84A9.

Just one question, does the message consist entirely of the aforementioned 
content?


Also, note that I've seen Sylpheed basically choke on a message if the 
message was HTML only with no straight text as well - normally this 
happens in attachment view.  I haven't used Pmail in years, so I don't 
remember if the layout is anything similar.
