I have recently corresponded extensively with a user, who is a member on one of my lists and who is also a member on a list on a mailman server run by someone I know. As the user swears by her Hotmail account for all her list mail and as Live Hotmail cannot be configured not to be a multipart/alternative (maybe), she cannot be convinced to post only text/plain messages. Oddly enough, that is not the problem. The problem is that to recipients the lines in the quoted lines in the text/plain version of her multipart/alternative run together lacking line feeds and that the mailman admin uses content filtering to remove any non text/plain parts. She is in other words stuck between a rock and a hard place. This appears not to be a mailman issue per se. It happens when I send her an email directly and she responds to that email directly. I have suggested to her to move away from Hotmail rather than asking the mailman to allow HTML on his list. But she is hesitant of course, she would like to go back to how things used to be. It started happening only four months ago, maybe in moving from Classic Hotmail to Live Hotmail, I don't know. In short, mailman works as advertised - somewhat frustrating, I must admit.
