Here is her description of the issue. She is sending
text to her listserve which is a moderated list. She approves the
message but as a member of the list, the email is received with 3
attachments: ATT00001.c, ATT00002.htm, and ATT00003.c. The
administrator has 2 other lists and when she sends text, she receives
them as text. She would like email sent as text to be received as text.
You could try deleting all list-specific headers and footers and re-creating
them, this time making sure that you don't put in any non-ASCII characters.
Or maybe you've got ASCII characters in there, but there are non-ASCII
characters in the submitted message, such as accented characters in
someone's name or signature?
Other than that, I have no idea how this kind of thing would happen.
Re-creating the headers and footers did not resolve the issue.
The .htm extension on the middle "attachment" which I assume is the
message body indicates she is not sending a text/plain message but
rather a text/html message, and content filtering is not removing the
html part or converting it to plain text. The other "attachments" are
probably the msg_header and msg_footer as Brad suggests. The FAQ Brad
references is the relevant one. The difference between lists may be
that this is the only one that adds msg_header and msg_footer.
I may not have this exactly right, but the only way to know for sure is
to see a raw message from the list or at least the content of the
three "attachments"
I have attached the files you requested, as sent to me by the list
administrator.
It appears to me what is happening is the list server is sending the
email with
3 attachments but displays as 4 parts: there is the message header, the
text
version of the email, then an HTML version of the email, followed by the
message
footer. I see like a line separator between each part. (I use the
Thunderbird mail
client). This does not seem like normal behavior. If anything, there
should
be a minimum of 3 parts, not 4.
Let me know if there is any else you need from me.
