[Mailman-Users] HTML Formatted Email
How do I send an HTML formatted e-mail to all the subscribers to my mailing list? Basically, I'm trying to use Mailman to send a monthly newsletter to all of our customers. This newsletter will only be an announcement list, where only the administrator can post to the list. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py 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://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

After some research, it looks like Horde and Squirrel Mail are some good options. Question: Does Horde and/or Squirrel Mail send HTML Mail that is sent as source code? I've found that these programs allow me to send HTML email that is already FORMATTED, but I want to be able to just copy/paste HTML code from an HTML editor (Dreamweaver) and insert it into the body of the e-mail. Then, I just want to tell the mail composer that I am sending HTML Source Code that is supposed to be formatted after I send the message. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py 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://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

I think you really need to be researching these on the lists/websites for those programs. Likewise for other mail clients html editors.

When looking at this problem at a previous employer, we found that IMP/Horde relied too much on JavaScript, and was not well-supported on many browsers. We found that TWIG worked better for us. Of course, this was many years ago, and things may have changed since then. I have also used SquirrelMail, and it seems to be okay.

Go to the Content Filtering admin page for your list and read the description. Pay particular attention to the sentence Then, each multipart/alternative section will be replaced by just the first alternative that is non-empty after filtering. This means that if you are filtering at all, and if you allow both text/plain and text/html (and multipart/alternative), then Mailman will select the text/plain part from a multipart/alternative group with a text/plain part. Assuming you have some reason to filter content and allow HTML and therefore don't want to turn filtering off, you have to arrange for Outlook to send HTML only, not both HTML and plain text. You also want to be sure that convert html to plaintext is no. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] HTML (formatted) email
Hello everyone! I'm pretty new to UNIX world, and may ask you silly questions, but please be patient. I'm just about ready to install the Mailman to a virtual server (renting) running on FreeBSD (Python 2.1.2). But before an installation, I'd like to know if it can handle a HTML (formatted) message (basically, It just contains a letterhead graphic on the top of a message) well. Again, all I want to do is sending 250 subscribers (read only, newsletter) a message with a graphic on the top (letterhead). It just like HTML messages you receive daily from Apple, Palm, you name it (by the way I'm sending it to my clients). I've tried it with Macjordomo on the EIMS server (MacOS9), but no luck. Subscribers received a message without a graphic (instead, bunch of codes). Anyone has any thought?
