[MM3-users] Re: HTML email sent to lists migrated from Mailman 2.1

I have some lists migrated from 2.1 that are stripping the HTML parts (perhaps all attachments?) from messages despite the options to do so not being enabled and lynx not even being installed. I'm trying to get a new list to behave the same way so I can figure out what's going on without spamming a production list, but have been unsuccessful: despite setting nearly all the list options the same as the old lists, new lists pass HTML portions and attachments just fine.

I've verified the settings using mailing list objects directly with mailman withlist on the command line and the only differences are things that I can't imagine would be related like admin_notify_mchanges, advertised, and archive_policy. Are there are really old options that can't be accessed via mailing list objects obtained with withlist on the command line?

No, there aren't "hidden settings"

The relevant settings are

filter_content filter_extensions filter_types pass_extensions pass_types collapse_alternatives convert_html_to_plaintext

These are exactly analogous to the MM 2.1 settings

filter_content filter_filename_extensions filter_mime_types pass_mime_types pass_filename_extensions pass_mime_types collapse_alternatives convert_html_to_plaintext

and should behave the same way.

Note that filter_extensions, filter_types, pass_extensions and pass_types are not exposed in Postorius, but can be seen and set via withlist.
