This example doesn't make sense to me. m...@example.com can't be a real address so you didn't cut and paste, and I don't understand why a plain-text message would have HTML escapes in it. (I guess maybe your mail was pure HTML and autoconverted by mail...@mail.python.org?) Do these addresses really have an embedded "mailto:"; URL? Regarding the address itself. I don't understand why an address would have ZWSP stuck on the end. I would expect something like "First Last{ZWSP}<m...@example.com>". > preventing them from receiving any mails from Mailman.

Technically, a zero-width space, which indicates a word boundary and *may* be treated as a line-break point or a point for adding space when text is fully justified. > What could course this and how can I prevent it? Broken software (not Mailman) is injecting the character, and there's nothing you can do to prevent it at present. I expect that it's occurring in the web interface, and my guess would be a list admin copy-pasting into "mass add members" or a user copy-pasting a full address with display name into the address field on the listinfo page. To figure out what to do about it, it would help to have confirmation that your m...@example.com example accurately represents the configuration that is occuring. Mark may have a patch to filter these at subscription time and/or a withlist script to remove them shortly. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
