Jamie sent this message yesterday(August 19, 2004 11:31 AM), and it
reaches my inbox less than five minutes ago, after 24 hours delay.
Is this by design? or something that needs to be fixed?
Jamie is sending messages from a stupid mail client through a
non-standards-compliant MTA (Microsoft Exchange V6.0.6487.1).
The delay, however, is not due to our systems needing to remove
the HTML alternative body from the original message. The delay
is because Jamie isn't subscribed to the mailing list and his
message didn't get moderated in until the next day (i.e., normal).
Jamie, please turn off your HTML e-mail feature [in order to do
this, you may need to fire a shotgun at the Exchange server].
Your attachments are eaten because they are embedded within a
multipart/alternative. Second, if you absolutely need to send
attachments to the list instead of Jira, then end the file in
".txt" because your system needs to send the right content-type.
Third, please subscribe to the mailing list before posting to it.
