Somewhere on your system will be a file called mime.types or some equivalent. That's what your mail program uses to determine what type the attachment is. You need to update it. If you're lucky, you also have a mailcap file somewhere that tells your mailer how to handle it -- telling it to treat it as plain text (or better still, the way it handles multipart/alternative will possibly work) is both safe and useful (in that you'll be able to read it). -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Toshiba T3200SX Question

by CLeyson＠aol.com

Thanks for the advice. Found the battery, or rather what's left of it. Whatever it is that leaks or gasses out of Lithium batteries has eaten into most of the steelwork. I will have to replace the floppy drive and clean up metalwork. :-( Chris Leyson

Hep me!! scsi adapter DOS drivers (ot?)

by rhudson＠cnonline.net

--probably off topic... I am not sure of the age of the board but Adaptec seems to think it's not supportable any more... :^( Anybody have DOS ASPI drivers for the ADAPTEC AHA-1542CF?? Tis an ISA scsi card with floppy attach and I have it in a 486 machine ---------------------------------- The machine seems to be a 486dx in a "lunchbox" style case with color lcd. looks like a normal motherboard is inside.. goes by the name of PCIII, with no other markings as to MFG. Any one know anything about this?

RFD: SPAM

by doc＠mdrconsult.com

Y'all, I've had this email account for a while, and never been particularly reticent about using or giving out the address. I've seen an unbelievable increase in incoming spam since I joined this list. Yes, I'm familiar with procmail filtering, and am about to start that, but I'm curious as to why this list in particular attracts so much garbage. I've seen a couple of other references to this, so I don't think I'm out on a limb here. What's going on, and is there a reasonable deterrent? Doc
