RE: Message not displayed as HTML in listserv emails
I've just been hit by this bug trying to set up mail servers which WILL be
using html emails.
Anyway, it seems that it is dropping the content-type headers:
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0022_01C520B7.E185E640"
is in the original, but vanished in the list version. Then for each part,
the content type has gone!
There are two points that things can be going wrong - when the new mail is
created, or when each part has it's content reset when the footer is added.
Will report back if I find a fix :)
Daniel.

RE: Message not displayed as HTML in listserv emails
Posted by Daniel Perry <d....@netcase.co.uk>.
A fix for this seems to be to add:
message.saveChanges();
immediately after both calls:
message.setContent(multipart);
in the service method of CommandListservFooter.
I'm not a javamail expert, but from the javadocs it looks like you should
call this whenever the message content is changed.
Could someone with commit privileges patch and commit :)
Daniel.
