That was a PGP/MIME signature. This is a standard, defined in RFC 2015, and it is useful unlike the Microsoft "stationary" crap which has no use whatsoever and is not any sort of standard. If your MUA can't handle PGP/MIME I suggest you find a MUA which is little less outdated. > C'mon people, my MUA (Outlook 2k) can handle text, html, rtf, and > other messages just fine.

PGP/MIME signatures for one. I've probably attached small patches or C source files in messages to this list (they may well be text/plain though, I'm not sure). I think the only messages which need banning are multipart/alternative. --=20 Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D --ZcaUvQ23gCOmDTXi Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use MessageID: xfJENhHTinLb0s6kW75VNJXqAj27AQHP iQCVAwUBOVKZkCsPVtiZOS99AQGwvQQAiwHp5VR3qUzhpB9P+tCe7zqoLuaL0qrO dnQyYzOBoaFnE7Tfj6K5wDE879cfB9LmnwLeGlNSH2Rtt0TJSffaPm7c+TdUHum8 b9aR/5F96EXlB9jjXk/jXsBmS8vQD6gPNUsk4uHixlT/riANQEAWFemiVgQOQ+7R 5lZRGLWX3dM= =Gdge -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ZcaUvQ23gCOmDTXi-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
