The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün <address@concealed>]

Hi Nick,

That's a strange behavior ; messages sent via Sympa should not get 
altered at all. The only situation where Sympa might alter a mail body 
is if the list has a header/footer defined with footer_type set to 
"append" (see http://www.sympa.org/manual/parameters-sending#footer_type).

I suggest the following process to find out what is wrong :

  1. ensure that Sympa is the culptrit : try sending the same message
     to both the list and yourself and check if both versions differ
  2. try sending the message to a different mailing list
  3. get Sympa to send you back the message (from the archives) and
     check the mail source
  4. check your mhonarc-ressources.tt2 configuration file


If you still need support on this, please send sample messages that show 
the problem.

PS : you did not mention the version of Sympa you are running?
