If I remember correctly it goes something like this: - The problem is caused by messages with attachments. A detached GPG/PGP signature is just the most common type of attachment on this list. Messages with inline signatures (old style) should not suffer from this. - The debian mailing list server appends the how-to-unsubscribe information to the end of each messages as if the whole message were a "flat" mail. This means that for a message with attachments the appended part is "undefined" because it comes after the terminating separator string and does not have a type definition. - The general confusion is increased by the fact that some MUAs do show the undefined part while others interpret the relevant RFC more strictly and suppress it. - The other lists that you mention might simply attach their text in an RFC-compliant manner. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
