HTML email and attachment archiving inconsistencies

Bug Description

With archiving set to on and content filtering off
(default options everywhere), I've encountered
inconsistencies with the mail archiving and multipart
attachments.

If I send a HTML email, the arhived message correctly
shows the text/plain porition with a link to the HTML
version.

However if I send a HTML email with an image
attachment, the archived message shows nothing except
for the link to the image. The original message (in
either plain text or HTML) is lost. I would have
expected the same plain text view with now 2 links to
both the HTML part and image attachment. I've tested
this with Outlook and Evolution.

Note that if I send 1 or more images attached to a
plain text message, everything works as expected.

Thanks, Nick

This is happening to me on Mailman 2.1.5 on Solaris. It
probably merits more than a P5 based on the numbers of
users who send text and html messages from outlook? If
anyone likes I can send a shell script that generates this
behaviour by piping data to port 25. I've tested the patches
for Scrubber.py but they don't rectify this problem.

Although this is a pipermail issue, no-one seems to be
noticing pipermail bugs.

Submitting to web queue.
