Mailman version 2.1.5 installed on FreeBSD at pair
Networks.
I use the web configuration of mailman. It is set up
with convert_
Recent email via Hotmail has been coming in with no
body, even though the original email has text. The text
is present, and although ugly, the code looks average
for HTML mail.
The actual original email content (without headers) is
pasted below. No text is passed through Mailman.

Any advice is appreciated if this is not a bug.

It was hard to find examples of what you were talking about. Can I
assume that you mean messages like <http://
coco/2005-
In this case, what we need to do is to see the original, unedited, version
of the message as it was submitted to Mailman, so that we can try to
figure out what went wrong and why it was stripped to be "blank" but
then submitted to the system.
This may require that someone subscribe to Hotmail and send some test
messages, both directly to another account as well as to the mailing list,
so that we can see both the edited and the unedited versions of the
message.
Another problem is that this issue may be specific to the configurations
of particular people using Hotmail, and it may be difficult to find out
what options they have set/changed which result in this kind of
behaviour.
