How is this happening? MIMEEXCS defines the list of content-types to exclude from processing. I don't have MIMEEXCS in my .mrc file; thus, how is _anything_ being excluded for me? The default is documented as "Nil". I _had_ MIMEEXCS set one time, but removed it from my .mrc file weeks ago. How is mhonarc still using a setting I do not provide? How do I "fix" a setting I currently do not have? If I insert a MIMEEXCS resource setting that doesn't mention application/octet-stream, will it "override" whatever is stuck in MhonARC's database?? Do I need to run a command to force the database to reset itself from the current .mrc file?? >One solution is to use the inlineexts and usenameext options to >m2h_external::filter: > > <MIMEArgs> > m2h_external::filter; inlineexts="jpg" usenameext > </MIMEArgs> > >Unfortunately, such a solution can make your archive vulnerable to >attacks (see the MIMEFILTERS page and the m2h_external::filter and >the Security section of the FAQ for more information). I don't understand. I read the Seurity FAQ; the section on "Why doesn't MHonArc, by default, use the specified filename when saving attachments? seemed the most relevant." - from this, it would appear _safer_ to save a .jpeg as a .jpeg (which is not executable) than as something else, e.g. .bin, which _could be_ executable! -- - Vicki Vicki Brown ZZZ Journeyman Sourceror: P.O.
