Hi All,

I'm gathering feedback from my list of users trying to track down an odd 
problem in which headers display in individual messages (To, From, Subject) but 
the entire body of the message is attached as a text file and not displayed in 
the message.

Subject to further information, this seems to be the situation so far:

a) Problem started on or about January 8th 2025.

b) People got magically switched from MIME display settings, to plain text 
settings in their GNU Mailman account. Still waiting to see if switching them 
back to MIME has helped.

c) Two of the affected users are utilizing Microsoft Outlook. I'm not sure yet 
if they are on laptop Outlook clients, or logging into Outlook Web Browser 
interfaces for their email. Both of these people can read their GNU Mailman 
messages just fine on their iPhones.

d) The text attachments are -- not surprisingly -- in plain text. These people 
were originally subscribed for MIME format.

e) They state this problem is not occurring with any other emails or lists.

One user is on an @usf.edu domain (maybe hosted by Microsoft?). One user is on 
Gmail (and using Outlook). One user is on an @mindspring.com account (Earth 
Link).

Not all my users are having this problem. I'm hosted at Proton Mail and using a 
Thunderbird client -- not seeing this issue myself.

Anyone understand what's going on here?

Thanks,

Michael
