Cool! Here's my pet new feature: MIME stripping, particularly for getting rid of HTML and/or various binary attachments. I just uploaded a patch (501199) against 2.1a4 that implements this in a Handler. It is per-list configurable with a list of regexps to match against the mime types to be deleted. (The config is in a new web page in the admin GUI, but maybe it'd be better stuck into one of the existing pages. I just didn't see an obvious candidate.) This implementation was originally written for 2.1alpha3. We've been using it on a few lists for 2-3 months without problems. The basic algorithm has been in use for over a year on several medium-sized lists; it's not perfect but has done a good job of making the multipart HTML generated by a lot of MUAs palatable to plain-text readers, as well as stripping out images and other binaries that shouldn't be posted under the lists' charters. -les _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
