originates on the server.  I have not been keeping track of
how long this has been happening, but it seems to be a

Well, that's ironic.  :-)  My own messages in digest are blank!

Hi, Cris-

That's funny!

I don't think we can do anything about base64-encoded messages for now. 
For some other content transfer encodings, inserting a blank line at the 
beginning of the content seems to help.

Thanks for investigating and reporting the issue.  :-)  Glad to know the cause

Hi Terence

I have similar issues.


First, I was suddenly unable to send e-mail to the list using an
e-mail address that I have used on the list since at least 2005,
as mentioned above. I got around this by (re)subscribing to both
users and users-digest. This may be why you found my e-mail
address listed twice as a subscriber.
What isn't clear is whether a subscription to the list in the non-
digest form is now required to send messages to the list. (I was
previously subscribed to the digest only and had been able to
send messages to the list.) I should be able to test this without
too much trouble.

1. I stopped being able to reply to the digest after being subscribed for a few years.  Thanks for 
the idea about subbing to the "users" messaging service.  At Mark's suggestion, I opened 
a Jira ticket, which is still unresolved, "Subscriber Reply Posts to users@tomcat.apache.org 
Bounced".  https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-23619  I now see individual messages 
from myself since subscribing to that service (in addition to the digest).


Second, some attachments in the digest are still not displayed
in Thunderbird (shown as blank).I previously mistakenly reported
that some digest attachments were not displayed in gmail but that
looks to have been due to operator error as I'm now able to see
attachments in gmail including those shown as blank in Thunderbird.

2. Also, some digest messages are blank for me, but other folks' replies to them are not.

Hi, Cris-

Thanks for creating the JIRA issue about not being able to send messages 
to the list. From the comments on the issue, it appears they've 
identified a problem.


I created an issue for the blank digest messages:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-23675

which appears to be due a missing CRLF sequence following the header 
section. It's currently "WAITING FOR INFRA" so I don't think anyone has 
had a chance to look at it.

 From RFC 5322:

    A message consists of header fields (collectively called "the header
    section of the message") followed, optionally, by a body. The header
    section is a sequence of lines of characters with special syntax as
    defined in this specification.  The body is simply a sequence of
    characters that follows the header section and is separated from the
    header section by an empty line (i.e., a line with nothing preceding
    the CRLF).

In Thunderbird, in every attachment that is displayed as blank or is 
missing a leading portion of the message, there is no empty line 
between the header section and the body in the message source.


In gmail, those attachments are displayed, mostly, but when I 
download the source, there is no empty line separating the header 
section from the body. I say mostly because, in some cases, gmail 
does not display a leading portion of the message, but starts after 
the first blank line.


This suggests that the digest is not including empty lines between 
the header section and body of attachments. I found a couple of 
digests from 2020 and, in all attachments, an empty line was included 
between the header section and body.


Has the digest code changed recently?


Thanks for looking into this.

ezmlm (the software that runs the mailing lists) was updated around 
the time you first reported these problems.


Please raise the issue of the missing line with the ASF infrastructure 
team as they manage ezmlm for all ASF projects.


Thanks again,

If you can show that the ASF list software is violating a relevant

the ASF Jira instance. That said, my experience is that it is email 
clients that tend to play fast and loose with the RFCs.
