Here's what is happening (I think): the Mailman archiver wraps the entire message in <pre> tags (to preserve text formatting, I suppose).
it does.
Yahoo WebMail sends the message out as one continuous line so it gets rendered as such. My mailer sends the text format=flowed i.e., it adds a space and newline/carriage-return at the end of each line, so the <pre> renders it correctly.
from years and years of working with people on marxmail trying to get yahoo formatting to work, i have come to the conclusion that yahoo is just plain broken as a modern email system. and with google so widely available now, its simply inertia that prevents people from switching over.
Given that Mailman is Python, we can hack it to be cleverer about this sort of thing... that's what I meant in my earlier message.
its on my todo list with Hans this summer to customize the Utah archive formatting if its simple enough to do. i have a funny feeling though that Mailman is pretty limited in its re-formatting options, but i will look thru the code to see whats up. if ravi or others have links to working modules for Mailman that do this, i will test them on my machine and then try them out with the Utah server.
