GNU Mailman

Message Excerpt Not Decoded

Asked by Dale Alspach

When I look at a message from the web interface as moderator, the message excerpt is often useless because it is base 64 encoded. (Yes I could run it through a decoder, but why should I have to do that?) Is there a way to have the message excerpt automatically decoded?

I have fixed this for Mailman 2.1.14 to be released soon.

There is no way to do this other than patching Mailman/Cgi/admindb.py line 602 from

. for line in email.Iterators.body_line_iterator(msg):

to

. for line in email.Iterators.body_line_iterator(msg, decode=True):

Can you help with this problem?
