Backported patch
Yes, the update to 2.1.8 does solve this issue. I didn't do a lot of other testing on the update, but it does install without issue and basic mailman functionality is still working. If I notice any problems I'll be sure to report them. Thanks Harald. The update to 2.1.8 didn't make it into FC4 before it was moved to Fedora Legacy, but FL did release it. Anyone using FL will have the fix as will users of newer FC versions. I'm marking this as Closed NEXTRELEASE to remove cruft from bugzilla. Hope that's OK. |
Description of problem: Mailman's archiver will wrongly remove (scrub) mime message parts with a content type of multipart/mixed. This includes any PGP/MIME signed message with an attachment. As this is a convenient (and somewhat common) way to send digitally signed patch files to project mailing lists it is desireable to not lose the attached patch in the mailing list archives. See the following thread on the mailman-users list for a problem report and resolution: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg38837.html This bug has been fixed upstream since version 2.1.6. The attached patch was kindly backported from mailman's subversion repository by mailman developer Mark Sapiro. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mailman-2.1.5-35.fc4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Send a message with a multipart/mixed content type part to a mailman list 2. Check the archives for the list 3. Notice that the message and attachment have been scrubbed 4. Resolve problem with help of mailman developer Mark Sapiro 5. File bug report here so others can benefit from solution Actual results: Message in archive is missing the message body and attachment. Expected results: Message body and attachment should be in the list archive. Additional info: The simplest way to generate a message which tickles this bug is a PGP/MIME signed message with an attachment. I used mutt to generate test messages, but any PGP/MIME compliant MUA's messages ought to trigger the same problem in the mailman archiver.
