The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Jason Laster <address@concealed>]

Additional investigations have turned up that in spite of setting the 
footer_type variable Sympa is ignoring this.

In the config file of my virtual list I have the following
----snip from config----

custom_vars
value append
name footer_type     

----end snip---

So it should assign footer_type==append, however this is not the case.  If I 
change the default variable to append in List.pm it works as expected.

----snip from List.pm----

            'footer_type' => {'format' => ['mime','append'],
                              'default' => 'append',
                              'gettext_id' => "Attachment type",
                              'group' => 'sending'
                              },  

----end snip----

Any Thoughts on this.  I can simply hack the .pm file, but I'd rather have 
this as an option on a list by list basis.

Hello all,
        I'm working to setup Sympa 6.0.1 on my Debian system with virtual 
domains.  I have run into a snag where it appears that Sympa is not 
acknowledging the footer_type option.  No matter what this custom parameter 
is set to it only attaches the footer as a mime attachment.  What am I 
missing in the setup?

In the config file for this virtual domain I have the following:

custom_vars
value append
name footer_type   

However it does not acknowledge it apparently since it continues to attach 
the footer text as a mime attachment.

the body an example message is below if it helps:

-----snip-----
Content-type: multipart/mixed; boundary="----------=_1276769658-9259-3"

This is a multi-part message in MIME format...

------------=_1276769658-9259-3
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

footer below here

------------=_1276769658-9259-3
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"; name="message-footer.txt"
Content-Disposition: inline; filename="message-footer.txt"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

this is a footer
I hope it comes through

------------=_1276769658-9259-3--                          
-----snip-----
