First question: Is the Subject: in English or Italian? If the Subject: is in English you need to compile the Italian message catalog as I described in my reply at <https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message…>. Then, as far as the message body is concerned, it is built from a template. At present, in the Mailman source distribution, the only templates that are translated are French and German You will find the complete set of English templates at /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/templates/en/. You have choices. 1) You can create /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/templates/it/ and make Italian translations of all the English templates in the it/ directory in files of the same names, and submit a merge request at <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/merge_requests> to merge them into the source distribution. If you are not familiar with software development in general and Mailman development in particular, this is probably beyond what you can do. 2) Find Mailman's var/ directory. This is the directory containing archives/, data/, etc/, lists/, locks/, logs/ and perhaps other sub-directories. You then need to create the full path to var/templates/site/it/ and place Italian translations of some or all the templates there. When doing so, you can add site customizations. 3) You can use Postorius to create templates for individual lists. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

It's more complicated than that. Sometimes the fragment name is the heading and sometimes it is `#idn`. At the moment, neither #3.3.2 nor #3.3.3 work at all as these are #id2 and #id1 respectively. Currently the fragment for 3.3.3 Bugs is #bugs and the fragment for 3.3.2 Bugs is #id3, but presumably prior to the addition of 3.3.3, #bugs was Bugs under 3.3.2, Just as now, #command-line is Command line under 3.3.2, but when a Command line section is added under 3.3.3, that will probably get the command-line id. Thus, the note "Permalink to this headline" es misleading at best because it isn't very permanent fo an evolving document. > You can specify explicit anchor name in .rst too, I think just adding a `.. _news-3.3.2` just above the heading will generate an anchor on the page with #news-3.3.2 (I haven't verified this but I think it will!) which links to the heading. I too think this is correct. I suppose it might be worth doing for NEWS.rst in particular since Sphinx doesn't seem to like fragments like n.n.n. Another way to deal with this would be to always use code names. It seems like a heading `n.n.n` will always get a `#idn` id, but, e.g. `3.3.0 – “Tom Sawyer”` gets `#tom-sawyer` -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

The above message saying you need to make migrations because of changes to models indicates that your Debian/Ubuntu package is broken as the packager should have created all necessary migrations. > i do see tables in the mailman db but mailmanweb is empty - is there a different flag i need to run to seed the mailmanweb db? I am confused as to why you are trying to run an out of date and possibly broken Debian/Ubuntu package when it appears you have successfully installed the latest PyPI packages in a venv. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

You may be missing some things added in 1.3.11.

See the doc at https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#template-strings Note that because we use the safe_substitute method, invalid substitutions don't produce errors, they just aren't substituted.

It's just the way HyperKitty renders what it thinks is an email address that makes it appear they aren't there. If you download the thread from HyperKitty, you'll see they are there. Anyway I am unable to duplicate your issue with your example data. I sent this raw message ``` To: test(a)example.com From: Mark <mark(a)msapiro.net> Cc: abc def (ghi) <abc(a)example.com> "abc def (ghi)" <def(a)example.com> Subject: test Message-Id: <msgid(a)example.com> Date: Sat, 16 May 2020 09:22:12 -0700 Hi ``` and the message I received from the list included these headers ``` To: test(a)example.com From: Mark <mark(a)msapiro.net> Message-Id: <msgid(a)example.com> Date: Sat, 16 May 2020 09:22:12 -0700 CC: "abc def (ghi)" <abc(a)example.com>, "abc def (ghi)" <def(a)example.com> Subject: [List] test ``` I do observe something similar to what you report that has nothing to do with folding. If I omit the trailing ">" in an address as in ``` From: Mark <mark(a)msapiro.net ``` the address becomes ``` From: "Mark <mark"@msapiro.net ``` So possibly your issue involves missing angle brackets. In order to say more, I'd need to see the actual headers as sent and received or at least an accurate munged representation. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

For the "prototype" archiver, the archives for a list are in var/archives/prototype/listname(a)example.com/ and that directory can be removed, but that doesn't affect HyperKitty. HyperKitty's archives are in the Mailman database and multiple tables are involved. One could try just removing the row for the list from the hyperkitty_mailinglist table. That may render the list's archive inaccessible via the web UI, but I have no idea what would be broken by doing this. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
