This is more trouble than I would be willing to take just to let some members of my mailing list see an interesting document I've found. But if the rest of you think this is the way to go, I'm fine with it. I'll just never make such documents available to the list, that's all. No big deal.
It was never my intention to turn you off from sending information on the list. you are a very active member of this group and I appreciate your contributions :) We are all here to share knowledge.
Hey, no hard feelings. :) I know that if I really have super-duper critical info to send to you guys, no mailing list software will stop anyone... I am sure I email you directly. And if it is indeed something that important, you won't mind the fact that it doesn't come through the list. So, honestly, no big deal. :)
We should atleast try to get mailman remove html tags while archiving.
Yes, on the archiving front, I don't know which program does the archiving for this list. From whatever we've studied, Mailman does not have any archiver built-in. You can use something called Pipermail, a Python program, for this purpose, but Pipermail is no longer maintained. Therefore, we've fallen back on Hypermail. It seems to be working beautifully with MIME. The current archive for this mailing list doesn't even handle MIME, it seems. You can see all the MIME separator strings in the messages. This is too primitive to be accepted, I feel.
Any way I can help, let me know.
