My Web hosting company (VenturesOnline) recently upgraded from Mailman 2.0 to 2.1, and my list has had some problems ever since then I cannot seem to figure out.
The primary issue is that people using Outlook suddenly started receiving all messages as attachments. It wasn't everyone, and seemed to be limited to people on Exchange Server. But it was a big problem. I discovered that converting my own messages to plain text before sending them out seemed to resolve the issue, so I went to 2.1's new section in the manager and told Mailman to convert text/html parts to plain text. That seemed to work, but then no one could send attachments. (The list is used by the alumni of a college singing group, and people frequently send photos of the current group in concert.) It was stripping attachments.
So, I added this to the section that supposedly permits specific attachments:
multipart/mixed multipart/alternative text/plain image
But this caused problems for even more people -- Outlook users who are not on Exchange server. (What complicates matters is that I use Eudora, which has not had a problem.)
I've gone through the Mailman site and cannot find anything that helps. Do you have any insight into this?
One more issue, although it's minor. When I log into the manager, I am taken to the manager's main page. Whenever I click on anything from there, I almost always have to re-enter my password. Not a big deal, but a bug.
Thanks.
Tim Brooks
