In Mailman 2.1.6 and earlier, the Approved: line was only found and removed if it was the first non-blank line in the first text/plain part of the post (and the line following was removed too.). If the post was multipart/alternative with say a text/plain part and a text/html part, the Approved: line would only be removed from the text/plain part. Thus, if the text/html part was not removed by content filtering, the Approved: line would go to the list in the text/html part. Beginning in Mailman 2.1.7, this has been improved. An Approved: body line must still be the first non-blank line in the first text/plain part. Thus, you still can't post an html only message with an Approved: body line. However, the line following the Approved: line is no longer removed so it is no longer necessary to follow it with a blank line. Also, once the Approved: line is found in the first text/plain part, an attempt is made to remove it from every text/* part in the post. I say 'attempt' because while I'm sure it will be removed from a text/html part, I'm not so sure that the pattern I use to find it will match in a text/enriched, text/rtf, text/richtext or similar alternative part. Thus, testing on a small test list is always a good idea. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
