The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Steve Shipway <address@concealed>]

This seems to me to be the wrong behaviour?  I had previously imagined that HTML-only mode simply turned a MIME-multipart-alternative containing text/HTML and text/plain into a single text/html, preserving all attachments, including S/MIME signatures. 

 

However a text-only is presumably for compatibility with older non-MIME-compliant readers and so would strip all attachments and parts that are not text/plain… so maybe it makes sense

 

Since any HTML-capable reader will support MIME, and MIME emails are likely to include images as attachments, is there any practical use for HTML-only as it currently stands?

Hi,

Check whether the default reception mode in these lists is not html only.

In that case, only the HTML part is sent. Not attachments.

Regards,

Hello,
I upgraded from sympa 6.1.7 to sympa 6.2.9

What happens is that on certain lists (not all lists) if the OWNER of a given list is also a MEMBER
and he sends  email  with attachment to the list, the mail is distributed but the attached is removed
in hte message sent to recipients, while the attachment is present in the archive.
This is very weird and I am not able to find a solution to it.
Anyone has a hint ?
thank you

Rick
