[mlmmj] Gmail strips away the footer

[mlmmj] Gmail strips away the footer

[Achilleas Pipinellis]

Has anyone else noticed this?

I did a test and sent from the Gmail interface, no footer attached.
Sent the same e-mail from the same google account from thunderbird and
footer appeared.

mlmmj version: 1.2.18.1-1+b1

Thanks

Sure that there was no footer in the  mail as received by the mailinglist?
As gmail  only displays one single message for entries for the same
message-id, so when you send via gmail, you get the version in your
sent folder only, and will not be displayed the version that you
receive via the mailinglist. Maybe just this is the difference.

If you're talking about *sending* from Gmail, it is not stripping the footer, 
because at Gmail's output, the footer is not even there.

With what are you *receiving* the mail after it's been processed by Mlmmj?

In any case, if you are using Mlmmj's built-in footer support this does not 
surprise me in the slightest. It can only really add footers to the simplest of 
mails, i.e. simple text mail without a transfer encoding. I have found that some 
email providers (and I can't remember if Gmail is one of them) send even the mail 
body base64 encoded, which Mlmmj won't work with. There are a number of 
workarounds for this. See this page which I've just updated, as I realised I 
hadn't refreshed the documentation on the website since the new release:
