This really shouldn't affect the /in queue as IncomingRunner only puts the message in the archive/ queue for ArchRunner. > Inspection of a sample message in a backup from about 24 hours ago shows > hundreds of newlines added to the message in that time.

The "An HTML attachment was scrubbed..." stuff is created by Scrubber.py, but the "</PRE>" and "<!--endarticle-->" are created by HyperArch.py and I don't think HyperArch.py knows or cares if what Scrubber.py did. Then the whole thing is written at once by pipermail.py. Nothing in Mailman would be writting one \n at a time to disk in the middle of an article. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
