Hi all, This relates to a list on listserv.aol.com that I'm asked to help with technical issues on. Whilst I have list owner privileges, I don't have any direct input into the running of this list. The bug is that sometimes the last line of text appears *below* the BOTTOM_BANNER. I note that the list owner's guide for 1.8e comments that the handling of BOTTOM_BANNER, particularly to do with quoted-printable has been changed. RELEASE shows: LISTSERV(R) High Performance for unix version 1.8e, managed by: [log in to unmask] Alias file version: 2002-05-30 12:21:41 Running under: HP-UX B.11.11 Runmode: Standalone The BOTTOM_BANNER template is precisely what is between the two ---- lines: #### -- ME Chat - an informal list for anyone in the UK affected by ME or CFS Mechat eXtra site (by ME Chat members): http://www.mechat.co.uk Mechat Help site (unsubscribe, nomail): http://www.bean.uklinux.net Administrators: mailto:[log in to unmask] #### (Incidentally, I regard it as a pain that LISTSERV strips the trailing space from a <dash><dash><space> signature separator - but I guess that's a separate complaint and actually there's no <space> in the template - whether LISTSERV would allow one, I don't know - I don't want to attempt to change the configuration whilst it's exhibiting the problem). Attempts to get a full version of the input data from the one affected subscriber who's really annoyed about this have failed - her forwards don't contain full headers for a start. I suppose I could ask her to cc me all her submissions. One thing that is not to blame here is AOL's mail handling - the Received: headers (I'm on FULLHDR) show that the mail goes directly from the SMTP relay of the subscriber to LISTSERV - and outwards to subscribers via a Windows NT box running LSMTP 1.1b. Here's a raw version of an affected output message - with the 'routing' related headers snipped, and the subscribers email address hashed out. Note that the mail program is Outlook Express 6, and the input is declared Quoted-Printable (really for no good reason - but OE is not exactly known for the most sensible use of MIME). Again the data sits between the lines of four #### marks: #### MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1106 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1106 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Message-ID: <002101c2c852$b9bf7140$0fec0650@pbncomputer> Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2003 11:28:34 -0000 Reply-To: ME Chat <[log in to unmask]> Sender: ME Chat <[log in to unmask]> From: Irene McCabe <####@####> Subject: It's STILL happening. To: [log in to unmask] Precedence: list Grrrrrrrr!!!!!! It's still happening .........my greeting eg luv Irene = at the bottom of a lot of my mails appears at the very bottom of the = page beneath the banners at the bottom. Sorry, getting easily annoyed = at the moment. -- ME Chat - an informal list for anyone in the UK affected by ME or CFS Mechat eXtra site (by ME Chat members): http://www.mechat.co.uk Mechat Help site (unsubscribe, nomail): http://www.bean.uklinux.net Administrators: mailto:[log in to unmask] Luv Irene #### I will, if necessary, keep an eye on the MUAs and MIME headers of affected subscribers. That is the latest version of Outlook Express I'm aware of - the one distributed with Internet Explorer 6 SP1 (at least it's the one I got with IE6 SP1 on my Windows 2000 Professional SP3 box). Meanwhile, the message looks to be in correct Quoted-Printable to me (RFC2045 paragraph 6.7 refers). Any ideas? Anything I can do to help? David -- David Wood [log in to unmask]
