Bug Description
Hi,
Mailman 2.1.6 does not respect RFC2046 when sending out
digests:
the end boundary of the last inner digested mail is not
separated from the separator boundary between the
multipart/digest main part and footer part, as
described on
http://
See the attachments (broken email, hand-fixed email and
diff between the two). The relevant part of RFC2046 is:
RFC 2046 - page 19:
NOTE: The CRLF preceding the boundary delimiter line
is conceptually attached to the boundary so that it is
possible to have a part that does not end with a CRLF
(line break). Body parts that must be considered to
end with line breaks, therefore, must have two CRLFs
preceding the boundary delimiter line, the first of
which is part of the preceding body part, and the
second of which is part of the encapsulation boundary.

Sorry. After more reading of the RFC, I found out that I was
wrong and this double-separator isn't needed.
