Is the attachment Content-Type: text/plain or message/rfc822?

The immediate cause is NewsRunner has a try: ... finally: and in the
finally: clause does
finally:
if conn:
conn.quit()
to close the nntp connection if it is open. It appears that the
connection may be already closed at this point because of a prior
exception. Are there any '(NNTPDirect) xxx error for list ...'
messages in the error log?. If not you could locate the following in
Mailman/Queue/NewsRunner.py
except nntplib.error_temp, e:
syslog('error',
'(NNTPDirect) NNTP error for list "%s": %s',
mlist.internal_name(), e)
except socket.error, e:
syslog('error',
'(NNTPDirect) socket error for list "%s":
%s',
mlist.internal_name(), e)
finally:
if conn:
conn.quit()
and replace
except nntplib.error_temp, e:
with
except nntplib.NNTPError, e:
and see if that gives any more information. nntplib does have a debug
facility, but don't try to use it because it writes the debug output
to stdout and NewsRunner doesn't have a stdout so this just causes
more problems.
