Miller" ----- To: announce@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" 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 ----- -- Wolfram Schneider http://wolfram.schneider.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
