Recently, message attachments that appear blank in my e-mail client have been included in the Tomcat users mailing list digest.  Some users' messages are normally not blank (e.g. Tomcat committers and others). Messages from other users are.  Replies to "blank" messages by users whose messages are not blanked include the original message.  My e-mail client has not changed.

This message is a forward of a digest in which all of the message attachments appear blank in my e-mail client.  They also appear blank in GMail.  However, the attachments do include data which may be accessed by viewing the message source.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I haven't. I use Thunderbird as an email client.

Is this something that can be fixed by anyone on this list?

I don't think it is purely a list level configuration issue. I suspect a combination sender's email client, list server behaviour (possibly digest related) and receiver's email client.

What I would recommend is sending emails in plain text ("proper" plain text - not a plain text part in a multi-part message).

Should it be reported on the Tomcat bugzilla or somewhere else?

If you can show that the ASF list software is violating a relevant RFC then you can raise an issue with the ASF infrastructure team via the ASF Jira instance. That said, my experience is that it is email clients that tend to play fast and loose with the RFCs.

In addition, I have been unable to send e-mail to users@tomcat.apache.org from tere...@tmbsw.com which I have used on this list since at least 2005.  I receive the following error reply:

I've checked the list subscription and you appear to be listed twice. I'm not sure if that is causing issues so I have removed one of the subscriptions.

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at apache.org.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<users@tomcat.apache.org>:
Must be sent from an @apache.org address or a subscriber address or an address in LDAP.

Has something changed?  Do I need to reconfigure my mail server?  If so, in what way?
