[mlmmj] decoding base64 moderation messages

[mlmmj] decoding base64 moderation messages

[Florian Effenberger]

Hello,

sorry for just sending in questions that much -- I know I still have
some unreplied mails even dating back to October, but as you can
imagine, The Document Foundation infrastructure kept me quite busy the
last weeks. :-) One questions: Do newer mlmmj versions support
decoding base64 moderation messages? I often receive messages like

Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

 RmFiaWFuLAoKClRoYW5rIHlvdSBmb3IgeW91ciBpbnB1dC4gQXMgdGhlc2UgYXJlIG5vdCBvZmZp
 Y2lhbCBEVkRzLCBwbGVhc2UgdGFrZSBvdXQgIlRoZSBEb2N1bWVudCBGb3VuZGF0aW9uIiBmcm9t
 IHRoZSBsYWJlbHMuCgoKQlRXOyBJJ20gdmVyeSBpbnRlcmVzdGVkIGluIHN0YXJ0aW5nIGEgcGh5
...

to moderate, which is quite annoying, as you first have to manually
decode the content. :-)

Thanks,
Florian

Hello Florian,

Were you ever able to solve this issue?
It is very annoying to have to manually decode those messages:

1. Search for the message number (lets assume that its base64 starts
with TXVpdG and ends with 0KDQo=):
grep -r 'TXVpdG' /path/to/Mail/Local/*

2. and then decode it
sed -n '/TXVpdG/,/0KDQo=/p;s/^[ ]*//' /path/to/Mail/Local/mail-list-path/436
| openssl enc -d -base64

It would be nice to have it properly done by mlmmj.

Mlmmj doesn't decode them, but the new list texts for moderation are
MIME messages which properly include the original message as an
attachment so your mailer should view it. Necessary supporting features
are in version control, and mailing list thread "richer listtext"
details it, I think.

we have come up with a temporary solution at
http://www.libreoffice.org/mod - a colleage of mine created that,
Christian Lohmaier. If you are interested in the source, ping me
offlist, then I'll give you his mail address.
