The discussion on Developers included requests for an example that would reproduce the problem. I don't know if this one will show the same behavior if re-tried on another installation, but here we can at least see it happening someplace we can observe in common. (In case this gets mangled on the way back through, the Subject header as I've received it and pasted below is: first line " [Mailman-Users] " then second line a Tab and the rest " Upgrade from 2.0.x to 2.1.1-- incorrect padding error. ")
I've installed the recommended Headers.py patch (and checked that it is /this/ headers.py that is being used), and I thought briefly that the problem was solved for my installation -- but it isn't. I'll quote a subject string that I've seen problems with, but note that whether it's reproducible seems to depend on what list it's going through. Here's the example: "[CUIP Activity] NSPTECH 2097 Alex Wilson Wednesday 2003-01-15 OS install/Printer Install". It breaks after the list tag [CUIP Activity], and so do test messages with longish subjects that go through that list. But if I send a message with that same header through a Test list (or any of several others), it doesn't break funny. I'm trying to figure out the differences between the lists, but haven't managed to make the error happen in the Test list by fiddling with Language Options and Personalization.
I'm close to ready to just suppress all wrapping in Subjects if that would cure this oddity. Would that be a disaster waiting to happen? How hard would it be (I don't know much about the Mailman python code)?
Thanks,
Mitch Marks
P.S. The point was made in the Developers discussion that Eudora's handling of the newlines in the summary windows may not accord to the relevant standard. Would someone who can speak to this fairly authoritatively feel like sending a report/suggestion in Qualcomm's direction? This is indeed only bothering Eudora users here. (Including me...)
The headers for the example passing through Mailman-Users:
