It doesn't need to be to solve this problem. May I refer you to: DEMIME http://scifi.squawk.com/demime.html which can easily be added to majordomo thus eliminating several problems at once: useless attachments stripped (including viruses, v-cards and Microsoft formatting crud), HTML mail turned into plain text, much bandwidth wastage eliminated. Other lists use this or a similar tool; eg: one or two of the openbsd lists. Very effective! -bmw To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
