Fwd: users Digest 17 Aug 2022 09:26:06 -0000 Issue 14393 - "BLANK" DIGEST MESSAGE ATTACHMENTS
Recently, message attachments that appear blank in my e-mail client have
been included in the Tomcat users mailing list digest. Some users'
messages are normally not blank (e.g. Tomcat committers and others).
Messages from other users are. Replies to "blank" messages by users
whose messages are not blanked include the original message. My e-mail
client has not changed.
This message is a forward of a digest in which all of the message
attachments appear blank in my e-mail client. They also appear blank in
GMail. However, the attachments do include data which may be accessed
by viewing the message source.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is this something that can be fixed
by anyone on this list? Should it be reported on the Tomcat bugzilla or
somewhere else?
In addition, I have been unable to send e-mail to
users@tomcat.apache.org from terence@tmbsw.com which I have used on this
list since at least 2005. I receive the following error reply:
> Hi. This is the qmail-send program at apache.org.
> I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
> This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
>
> <us...@tomcat.apache.org>:
> Must be sent from an @apache.org address or a subscriber address or an address in LDAP.
Has something changed? Do I need to reconfigure my mail server? If so,
in what way?

Hi, Cris-
That's funny!
I don't think we can do anything about base64-encoded messages for now.
For some other content transfer encodings, inserting a blank line at the
beginning of the content seems to help.

Well, that's ironic. :-) My own messages in digest are blank!

Thanks for investigating and reporting the issue. :-) Glad to know the cause has been identified.

Hi, Cris-
Thanks for creating the JIRA issue about not being able to send messages
to the list. From the comments on the issue, it appears they've
identified a problem.
I created an issue for the blank digest messages:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-23675
which appears to be due a missing CRLF sequence following the header
section. It's currently "WAITING FOR INFRA" so I don't think anyone has
had a chance to look at it.

Hi Terence
I have similar issues.

1. I stopped being able to reply to the digest after being subscribed for a few years. Thanks for the idea about subbing to the "users" messaging service. At Mark's suggestion, I opened a Jira ticket, which is still unresolved, "Subscriber Reply Posts to users@tomcat.apache.org Bounced". https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-23619 I now see individual messages from myself since subscribing to that service (in addition to the digest).

2. Also, some digest messages are blank for me, but other folks' replies to them are not. It's often original messages from specific users. Maybe we can compare what we see. Not using multiple client apps, I don't know if the blankness is due to client app misinterpretation or if the problem originates on the server. I have not been keeping track of how long this has been happening, but it seems to be a "recent" issue, at least for me. FYI, I use MS Outlook on Exchange Server.

Thanks for looking into this.
ezmlm (the software that runs the mailing lists) was updated around the
time you first reported these problems.
Please raise the issue of the missing line with the ASF infrastructure
team as they manage ezmlm for all ASF projects.

It looks like there's something going on with the CRLF sequence that
should separate the header section from the body in digest attachments.
However, it's difficult to tell where it's happening.
From RFC 5322:
A message consists of header fields (collectively called "the header
section of the message") followed, optionally, by a body. The header
section is a sequence of lines of characters with special syntax as
defined in this specification. The body is simply a sequence of
characters that follows the header section and is separated from the
header section by an empty line (i.e., a line with nothing preceding
the CRLF).
In Thunderbird, in every attachment that is displayed as blank or is
missing a leading portion of the message, there is no empty line between
the header section and the body in the message source.
In gmail, those attachments are displayed, mostly, but when I download
the source, there is no empty line separating the header section from
the body. I say mostly because, in some cases, gmail does not display a
leading portion of the message, but starts after the first blank line.
This suggests that the digest is not including empty lines between the
header section and body of attachments. I found a couple of digests from
2020 and, in all attachments, an empty line was included between the
header section and body.
Has the digest code changed recently?

Hi, Mark-
Thanks for looking into this. It appears there were/are two problems.
First, I was suddenly unable to send e-mail to the list using an e-mail
address that I have used on the list since at least 2005, as mentioned
above. I got around this by (re)subscribing to both users and
users-digest. This may be why you found my e-mail address listed twice
as a subscriber.
What isn't clear is whether a subscription to the list in the non-digest
form is now required to send messages to the list. (I was previously
subscribed to the digest only and had been able to send messages to the
list.) I should be able to test this without too much trouble.
Second, some attachments in the digest are still not displayed in
Thunderbird (shown as blank).I previously mistakenly reported that some
digest attachments were not displayed in gmail but that looks to have
been due to operator error as I'm now able to see attachments in gmail
including those shown as blank in Thunderbird.
I'll keep looking at this and report back to the list if I learn
anything useful.
Thanks again for your time and effort.

I haven't. I use Thunderbird as an email client.

I don't think it is purely a list level configuration issue. I suspect a
combination sender's email client, list server behaviour (possibly
digest related) and receiver's email client.
What I would recommend is sending emails in plain text ("proper" plain
text - not a plain text part in a multi-part message).

If you can show that the ASF list software is violating a relevant RFC
then you can raise an issue with the ASF infrastructure team via the ASF
Jira instance. That said, my experience is that it is email clients that
tend to play fast and loose with the RFCs.

I'm not sure if that is causing issues so I have removed one of the
subscriptions.
