[Mailman-Users] Images lose integrity and size changes.

2010-05-20 Thread Ty Nelson
Pretty basic question, I'm hoping.  First of all-Hello everyone!  W hen
sending a newsletter out via mailman (postfix mta), what is the best method
for setting the images correctly and in the appropriate places.  Meaning,
sometimes they shift from where we originally placed them, and the entire
framework of the newsletter is compromised.  We have been using outlook to
build up the newsletters before sending them, but perhaps there is a better
method when it comes to using mailman.  Is there a trick to this, or is the
error on our end (which almost always seems the case)  :)

Thanks a ton!

Check your content filtering settings. If this is a newsletter with
posts only from you or a controlled group, it's probably best to have
filter_content set to No, but if you are filtering content for some
reason, be sure collapse_alternatives is set to No.

If filter_content is No, and your newsletter is still altered, it could
be because of an added Mailman header and/or footer. If this is an
issue, make sure that Non-digest options msg_header and msg_footer are
empty (not just blank).

If filter_content is No and there is no msg_header or msg_footer, the
message delivered from Mailman should have exactly the same structure
and content as the post you send.

Re: [Mailman-Users] does arch read plain text emails?

 I've recently installed mailman to migrate from majordomo. And in
 majoromo I save all emails in plain text. I have about 4 emails to
 convert to mailman. And when I issue
 ~mailman/bin/arch dojo /home/mails/dojo/23048

 it returns:

 Pickling archive state into
 /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/dojo/pipermail.pck

 However, I do not see it on the web...


You don't see a web archive because you haven't added any messages. the
Pickling archive state into ... message is the last message from
bin/arch. Had it done anything, that would have been preceeded by many
other messages.


 How can I convert these emails to mailman?


The messages need to be in a unix like mbox format file. This means the
first line of each message should be a From_ separator, I.e. a line
like

  From u...@example.com Wed May 19 16:33:42 2010

Followed by message headers which should at least include From:,
Subject: and Date:

followed by an empty line and then the plain text message as in


  From u...@example.com Wed May 19 16:33:42 2010
  From: Jane Useru...@example.com
  Date: Wed, 19 May 2010 16:33:42 -0700
  Subject: An example

  Some message body text
  and more
  and more ...


and then the next message in the same format and so on. If your
messages have headers, you may only need to add the From_ lines at the
beginning of each message or you may need to employ some other process
to generate a mbox file from the majordomo archive.
