Does the message begin with a From_ line? If it does, then there you go.
When delivering to an mbox, if the message didn't have a From_ line, one will be manufactured. When delivering to a maildir, if the message had a From_ line, it gets quietly deleted.
Currently courier delivers to mailman with aliases like a-list: |/var/mailman/mail/wrapper post a-list
without initial From headers. The result is that messages get delivered to the subscribers alright, but the web archives fail because the initial From is missing. The mbox from which the web archives are supposed to be created is made by mailman, not by courier. As it is, courier can't tell that the messages will end up in an mbox. Mailman on the other hand is not clever enough to add the From header; it just dumps the raw messages in an mbox-like file and then complains it can't deal with them. I'm thinking now that this could perhaps be solved with maildrop and a double alias, first making maildrop write directly to the mailman mbox and then also deliver to mailman, while mailman is told to not archive. Then again, there must be a more elegant solution than this. Ideas?
