What he sent was just plain text. Looked a bit like some sort of journal of what he had been doing. The only complaints I had about it were: - It was huge. - His content type was text/JAVA although the actual contents were text/plain - It looked completely off-topic for this list Regards Ole

I seem to agree with Dizzy, and was impressed by James's work, It's a stone in RH's garden and a praise to SuSE's journaling file system. So it's not quite OT. I found nothing dreadful in this document, but I'm not an expert, there might be something I did not see, I'd like Doug to explain. -- ============================================================================== Paul Ollion. ==============================================================================
All right, I will explain: Any attachment is liable to contain some kind of virus code. In the MS world, which many of us are using to some degree, such code will automatically load and go. I happen to be using Eudora, which doesn't do that, but many are not so cool. Also, when an attachment downloads to my d/l directory, someday I may say, "Gee, I wonder what that is," and run the file. Blooey! So I carefully track down and eradicate anything anyone puts as an attachment. Sure, I could filter attachments, but I am the editor of a small journal, and I get the raw files as attachments. So I can't filter out all attachments. Why don't I use a Linux mail client? It's not working at the moment, I don't know why. In a bit, I will try ver 7.1 and see how it works. I'd just as soon use Linux, and I have some unhappiness with MS, but I'm not frothing at the mouth about MS. (Most of the time!) --doug At 11:24 05/05/2001 +0200, you wrote:

Thanks, Doug I quite understand your point of view and your reaction now. I am, for myself, very distrustful of such attachments and I must confess I often wait for a bolder person on the list to make some comments about an attachment before opening it myself; except when I know the sender very well. I have been using Netscape or sometimes Kmail since SuSE 6.2, without any problems. But my needs are very simple. Viruses are much more dangerous and numerous with M$ stuff. Maybe someone on the list could help you with your mail problems. Doug McGarrett a écrit :

I apologise profusely. I just got into work and, to my horror, my weekly report was on this list... Apparently Kmail (KDE 2.2alpha1) decided that since I was in the SLE folder, then I must be sending to the list. I was very tired at the time. Again, I apologise. To those who seemed to like it, thanks. :-)* I found that Wikis are great for that sort of thing. Oh yeah, the last line is a reference to an ex-Prime Minister who toured our office... - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE69qa3+FOexA3koIgRAjvxAJ0USwPIAh/PrSVRarLD0d5l4ZAPeQCeJ9tI 1VKrhu4Xl+gEKAvqIwXc/h4= =MjJV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
