764274 - emails generated by update-bugzilla on web1.stage.bugs.scl3.mozilla.com are not readable

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Services :: General, task)

Description

[:glob ✱]

emails generated by update-bugzilla on web1.stage.bugs.scl3.mozilla.com are not readable.

they have a content-type of application/octet-stream, which i suspect 

one way to fix this would be to build a full mime message with a correct content-type header (text/plain, charset utf8) and pipe to sendmail for delivery.

to clarify: by "not readable", the message body is empty, and with post-box i see a single attachment (.dmg file) which is the message content.  dkl reported that with thunderbird all he sees is a blank email.

Off the top of my head, I'm guessing it's the printf that's messing up. I'll see if I can switch that around a bit.

Going to deploy glob's patch to the script.

which is...

change the following line:

printf "%s\n%s\n* Done!\n" "$output" "$updateout" | mail -s "bzr update on $site" $recipientlist

to:

recipientlist=`echo "$recipientlist" | sed 's/ /,/g'`
header=$(cat <<EOF
Subject: bzr update on $site
To: $recipientlist
From: $USER@$HOSTNAME
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
EOF
)
printf "%s\n\n%s\n%s\n* Done!\n" "$header" "$output" "$updateout" | sendmail -t

Still pending a puppet error (unrelated to this) that I'm waiting on a proper fix for.

This has been applied, though I don't remember seeing mail.

glob did a bunch of debugging, but didn't really change anything. Seems to work fine now. Puppet has been re-enabled, closing the bug.

Thanks glob!
