Bug 9039

Summary:	ezmlm ruins messages with attachments
Product:	obsolete	Reporter:	_ ttran <ttran>
Component:	collabnet	Assignee:	Unknown <non_migrated_user>
Status:	RESOLVED INVALID
Severity:	normal

Attachments:	message not sent through ezmlm the same message sent through ezmlm

Description _ ttran 2001-01-09 08:31:51 UTC

when attachments are sent with the message the MIME type multipart/mixed is
used.  The body text is one part of the message with Content-Type: text/plain.
According to RFC 1521 in this case the Content-Type header for the part can be
left out, see an example in the RFC page 66.  Emacs/Gnus does precisely this.

Unfortunately ezmlm cannot handle a part with an empty header section.  The end
result is that whenever I send a message with an attachment to the list, the
message body is lost (it's there in the raw data but not marked as a part
anymore, ezmlm destroys the header section of the part).  The recipients see
only the attachment, no text in the message body.

ezmlm violates RFC1521.

I attach a test message, twice, once sent directly to me, once through ezmlm.

let him know we're escalating it.  I've sent
emails to the authors of ezmlm.

This should be fixed with the new ezmlm RPM from releng, which I believe Trung
has tested.  I'll mark it closed once we're on a system which has that RPM.

Comment 5 Unknown 2001-03-17 02:02:50 UTC

Just assigning it to you ed, so that you can look at it and see if it really is 
fixed when the time comes.

Comment 6 Unknown 2001-04-07 00:49:16 UTC

can you confirm ed?

Comment 7 Unknown 2001-04-07 19:21:09 UTC

The new RPM hasn't been installed onto netbeans.org, so this is still an issue. 
I could install that RPM, or wait till we do the next upgrade.  Either is fine
with me; installing an RPM is fairly painless, but this would be a new version
of ezmlm-idx, possibly with some changes besides the bug fix.

Comment 8 Unknown 2001-05-08 21:58:28 UTC

I don't think we need to do a new upgrade so close to a major upgrade.
But, I'd just like your verbal that you have seen this issue fixed in the newer 
version (ie. the one that we are working with on SC1.0)

Comment 9 support 2001-05-26 01:00:56 UTC

This is fixed in SC, so I am marking the issue resolved later.

Comment 10 Taska 2001-10-05 01:34:34 UTC

re-opening to re-resolve fixed.

Comment 11 Taska 2001-10-05 01:35:08 UTC

re-resolving fixed.
