It is the klez virus which has been doing the rounds a lot recently.

Re: [ql-users] HTML emails - what a pain !

[Peter Fox]

I did receive the message and my helpful email editor gave the offending 
file a different name but also produced GLENN5(1).jpg which did work using 
a jpeg viewer that is very fussy about file structures and refuses to load 
anything that is not pukka.

This debate seems to keep coming around.

If every user could disable the HTML or MIME option for this list it
would help us all.  Then it will only be plain text that gets posted.

Outlook Express is one of the mailers to have HTML as the default option
- so you have to make an active choice to change it.

Apologies for the cross-post. I hit reply and it sent it to all
recipients. The ql-users list is also configured strangely. Possibly a
hangover from when it was first set up at a slightly different address,
and both addresses have been kept valid.

Last thing I wanted to do was peek over the parapet and spam everyone :(

RE: [ql-users] QeyMail question...

[Dave P]

Hi Jonathan,

Sorry to hear about your accident, but know how it goes.

On Tue, 20 Aug 2002, Dent Jonathan wrote:

> Dilwyn's message here broaches the question of _exe files.

My specification would involve putting the _exe in a wrapper with a
checksum. If the wrapper was executed it would just quit. Any other copy
of Qeymail would remove the wrapper.

The wrapper would contain other information too: the header, plus the
original path of the file. When a user receives a bunch of attachments,
they can choose to dump them in a specified location, recreate the
original location, etc.

I want to get the design spec really clear in writing, then put it out to
everyone, and open the project at sourceforge so everyone can participate.

I've been going slow with everything QL-related, due to heavy work
commitments and some events outside of work that mean I really have to
take it easy. I'm beating cancer and that's a priority. I'm just taking
really good care of myself right now.

So, I'm not disappearing on you guys! Qeyboard is finished. I just need
fifty orders now! ;P The scene's been around for 18 years; it can wait a
few more months. I freely admit to getting very disillusioned sometimes,
especially after the SMSQ 'debate', but I think with EtherIDE almost
funded (I've bought some of the parts Nasta needs - sponsor Nasta, buy a
part and donate it to him so he can fund GF!) we're looking at better
times ahead.

I still think we need a new desktop. Look what Aqua did for the Mac - I
think we need to really bring the window manager(s) up to date.

Our system - MCAfee - allows the email through and butchers the payload so
that people know something was amiss.

[ql-users] HTML emails - what a pain !

[Norman Dunbar]

The message 'to class' allegedly from Ron, is in HTML format and carries a
payload called win98.pif which is AUTOMATICALLY run if you open or preview
the email (ok, in Outlook - but there may be others>)

Is there any way the moderators of these two lists can stop HTML mails
getting through, or have them converted to plain text so that this sort of
thing won't affect us again. I have this option on some of my other email
lists and it does reduce the crap that is sent through to me.

Just wondering.

Norman.

Yes. Thanks, Marcel.

As I say, I have now found your earlier message telling me this. I
wish I'd seen it first time round. (If I had, I would have hassled
Quanta sooner!)

Anyway, John Gilpin is now aware of the situation so hopefully it can
be sorted out in the near future...
