This is because Mailman uses Python's mimetypes module to generate the file name, and I believe that consults /etc/mime.types where available. Since before you edit Python didn't know anythig about image/pjpeg, it assumed it was random binary data, hence the .bin suffix. -Barry ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
