A follow-up to my earlier post re: Text encoding issue I forgot to mention that I have content-filtering configured to strip text/html to text/plain. However, on most lists other attachments types (i.e. .doc, .pdf, etc.) are not prohibited.
I did an impromptu test with a small developer list that I run. I sent three messages to the list: 1) One was plain text which everyone received it without problem. 2) I then sent an HTML-formatted message. In this case, Mailman worked as expected and stripped the MIME/HTML from the message, which was received by everyone as plain text. 3) The last message was plain text, but this time I attached a JPEG file. **In this case a couple of recipients reported that the message arrived with an empty body, and that the body, footer and attached JPEG were encoded as THREE SEPARATE ATTACHMENTS to the message**. The users in question were using Outlook on Windows XP and Netscape on XP respectively. Any suggestions on what I might be able to change to avoid the messages appearing as attachments? Thanks in advance for any help!
