Mailman can send digests as either a text/plain format with all of the posts appended one after the other in a single mail message or in MIME format where you get a multipart/digest message. You are obviously receiving the digest in MIME format which most modern MUA programs understand and can handle. The way a particular MUA handles such messages varies from one to the next. The text/plain version would typically be used by somebody who is using an older MUA that does not recognize the multipart/digest format. The actual details of the multipart/digest MIME format are set out somewhere within RFC2045-2049 though I have not looked at them closely enough to tell you exactly where that information would be. You can find plain text versions of these documents by going here: http://www.ietf.org/rfc.html Dragon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Venimus, Saltavimus, Bibimus (et naribus canium capti sumus) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------ 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
