One can just as well argue, cron-jobs aren't supposed to spit /anything/ to standard output. But they do and that output has been emailed by cron for decades. If my job fetches a text-file from a web-server every day, I can r= ely on cron to e-mail it to me -- why should the logic be any different, if I switched to fetching a JPG? And it is not necessarily binary -- what if the output is a CSV or HTML? Th= ere is no good reason not to mark it correctly, indeed, it is a bug not to... > also don't think that libmagic overhead should be made default What overhead? Compared to mailing something in the first place -- which involves multiple fork-ing, exec-ing, and network traffic, consulting a few local files in-process is nothing -- and cron-jobs aren't happening million= s of times per minute... Maybe, it should be possible for the cronjob-owner to explicitly set the mime-type per job. But, if they don't, cron should do the guessing for them. Unless compiled without the functionality at all, which should, as you suggested, be an option (WITHOUT_MAGIC). > fixed value like CONTENT_TYPE=3Dfixed:"text/plain; charset=3Dutf-8" "text/plain" is the default for messages with Mime-Type set and thus does n= ot need to be explicitly set at all. Except for when it is wrong. BTW, my default for text is KOI8-U so right there some other logic would be necessary to set the header correctly. Better leave it to libmagic and be consistent with other software (like Apache's mod_magic). --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
