I posted previously about this, but was all of the sudden swamped with work so I was not able to keep working on this problem. Our mailman install works fine until it's time to convert a text/html e-mail to plain text. All mailman produces with such e-mails is a blank body with the footer attached. Mark Sapiro was very helpful in pointing me to the following line in either Defaults.py or mm_cfg.py .
HTML_TO_PLAIN_TEXT_COMMAND = '/usr/bin/lynx -dump %(filename)s' After looking in both those files, I noticed that Defaults.py had this line, but mm_cfg.py did not. I was about to add the line in the mm_cfg file, but then I decided to check out the /usr/bin/ directory looking for lynx (I'm a windows/dos user so I'm used to file extentions.so lynx is an executable, correct?). At this point I noticed that lynx is nowhere in that directory. A search of the computer (Mac OS X) for anything with lynx in the name only provided an AppleLynx.kext. I'm guessing that the problem stems from the fact that lynx isn't installed on this computer? I checked my error logs and noticed I have the following error. Apr 18 13:27:38 2005 (399) HMTL->text/plain error: 32512 Every other place (on the mailman-users list) that I have seen the "HTML->text/plain error" it was followed by 256 instead of the 32512 that I am receiving. If I do indeed need to install lynx on a Mac, I have a few questions. I searched on the net and it seems that lynx is some sort of a text-only web browser.so is this what I am to install to get mailman to convert html to text? I found this site. http://www.osxgnu.org/software/Networking/lynx/ Is this what I'll need? If I install it, am I going to have to do anything special to get mailman to now recognize it? Thanks in advance for any help with this. _______________________ Nate ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
