According to <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.008.htp> I expected that to be enough. But still some (not all) of the messages are coming through with the footer as attachment. What have I done wrong?
I am glad to see that you've already read the page at <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.039.htp>. This is good.
However, the problem is that even if Mailman is stripping everything but multipart/mixed, multipart/alternative and text/plain, and converts text/html to text/plain, you're still allowing those MIME types through. If a MIME formatted message comes into the system and you go to add footers to it, Mailman has to encapsulate the original message into a multipart/mixed and then add a text/plain section at the bottom which contains the footers.
Unfortunately, some MUAs do not interpret correctly a MIME formatted message which encapsulates another MIME formatted message, and the footers end up getting displayed as an attachment.
I guess I should update the FAQ entry at <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.039.htp> to make this issue more clear.
