Text/html is allowed. I even added his address to the list administrators. The only logging I get is when I set his moderation bit.

Depending on what is meant by "nothing", I've seen something like this happen another way. Some clients will create a multipart/alternative message with a text/plain alternate and a text/html alternate. But these clients will just put a note in the text/plain part that says roughly, "read the HTML part". So with normal stripping of the text/html alternative all that comes through is a text/plain message that says "read the other part". This naturally confuses list members, although I consider mailman's behavior absolutely correct. The originating client is lying when it claims that it's produced a multipart/alternative message. And naturally I concur with what I've snipped of your message, encouraging people to send only text/plain email. Anyway, the OP should have the user cc the list administrator with their next posting attempt. That way, you can examine the structure of the message that got submitted. -j -- Jeffrey Goldberg http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/ ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/james.millsap%40chi cagobooth.edu Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 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://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
