Is there a way to make the digest go out without being an attachment?
Yes. Change your subscribers' email client, since it's the client that is causing the problem, not SmartList. (Sensible clients should "explode" the multipart/digest issue into seperate messages, not treat the entire digest as an attachment.)
Ok, ok, I know, that wasn't terribly helpful, but I wanted to get it off my chest. Anyway...
Help would be appreciated.
In .bin/digest change:
Content-Type: multipart/digest; boundary="----------------------------"
...to:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Note that this will REQUIRE you to reject HTML email, since if you accept it in your list the messages in your digest will look like left-over doggie doo with all the HTML tags all over the place...oh, and did I mention that AOL 6.0 can _only_ send email in HTML?
This will also affect EVERY digest on your server, unless you understand enough shell scripting to add an if/fi conditional to change it only for a specific list. (It's simple enough to do, but shouldn't be attempted unless you have done some shell scripting.)
See how a brain-damaged mail client which doesn't properly handle the multipart/digest MIME type is generating a whole lot of work for you?
