The address list is semi-random as I don't know whom to approach. Problem: infradead.org corrupts email subjects by changing: s/,/, /I found an old thread on mailman-users which appears to be claiming that it's just standard folding as described in RFC2822 §2.2.3. https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-May/057119.html 2.2.3. Long Header Fields Each header field is logically a single line of characters comprising the field name, the colon, and the field body. For convenience however, and to deal with the 998/78 character limitations per line, the field body portion of a header field can be split into a multiple line representation; this is called "folding". The general rule is that wherever this standard allows for folding white space (not simply WSP characters), a CRLF may be inserted before any WSP. For example, the header field: Subject: This is a test can be represented as: Subject: This is a test But this is folding at a *comma*, not at whitespace. The original subject line was (in a single line): Subject: [PATCH v2] dt-bindings: mtd: jedec,spi-nor: remove unneeded properties ... and Mailman 'folded' it in the wrong place to: Subject: [PATCH v2] dt-bindings: mtd: jedec, spi-nor: remove unneeded properties That *isn't* proper folding because it didn't happen at a whitespace. I do need to upgrade to Mailman 3 at some point; I've been procrastinating on the basis that it "ain't broke". For the time being I've just disabled folding in MM2 with a trivial hack:
Yay!!! I should have asked years ago... Any chance the appending of footers can be stopped as it causes lore to report duplicates and b4 dmarc attestation to fail?
