CVS, Mailman, and HTML

Hi all,

Yet another weird question from me on behalf of a user.....

I found a system (called cvsspam) that will take the loginfo from CVS
and create a diff and e-mail it out. It was then requested that I have
the e-mails sent to a Mailman mailing list so that everything would be
archived nicely. No problems there. The problem is in the archiving.
Every e-mail is formatted in HTML so that the diffs are color coded and
pretty. Unfortunately, Mailman strips out the html. There is a link on
the page to the stripped html, but it opens up as plain text. The only
way to view it correctly is to copy it, save it to a file, and then open
it up again.

Ideally, I would like to have the formatting left in the archives so
that they can just click on a particular e-mail and have it show up as
it was originally meant to. I have checked all of the options, but
nothing seems to allow me to do this. Has anyone ever archived html e-
mail using Mailman??

TIA,
Kenny
