[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#346090: mailman: Large attachments trigger digest even though they've been stripped

[Roger Lynn]

Package: mailman
Version: 2.1.5-8
Severity: normal


Emails sent to the list with attachments larger than the 
digest_size_threshhold trigger the digest being sent even though the 
attachments are stripped from the digest and the digest is therefore 
nowhere near the required size.

For example, with digest_size_threshhold set to 100kB, a digest 
should not be sent until it is at least 100kB big, but a 5kB email with 
a 150kB attachment will trigger the sending of a 5kb digest.
