I received this from another source about a different list, but it has some baring on this topic so here goes... *********************Start of Forwarded Message************************** Thought you might be interested in this. I'm going to take a peek at it and might put it on TCCMG's mailing lists. ----- Forwarded message from "Todd C. Miller" <Todd.Miller at courtesan.com> ----- To: announce at openbsd.org Subject: MIME is now being removed from the mailing lists Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 11:10:00 -0600 From: "Todd C. Miller" <Todd.Miller at courtesan.com> We are now using the demime program (http://scifi.squawk.com/demime.html) to convert MIME messages sent to the mailing lists into plain text. Things that cannot be converted (e.g. attachments) will be stripped. See the demime web site for the gory details. I know this may perturb some people but it seems to be in line with what most people want (and it makes mailing list archives more readable). It also protects the lists from viruses list the one recently posted on the misc list. If you must send binaries, there is always uuencode though we would *much* prefer that folks include a URL so as not to burden everyone on the list with a binary they probably don't want or need. The following OpenBSD mailing lists are now being de-MIMEd: ipv6, elf, mac68k, misc, ppc, romp, smp, tech, www, sparc, vax, x11, advocacy, hppa, alpha - todd ----- End forwarded message ----- -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Greg Putrich - Internet: gregp at n0qds.org [sk] "I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered.
