Re: Strange file attachments
Hi list people Just joined as I am trying out The Bat - v impressed so far. I noticed the strange extensions on the first mail received, so did a little investigating. Yes I use ZA pro and No its *not* the cause in this case. The problem only occurs on mail with attachments sent via Eudora. (you know that other program - the one with zero support). I don't know whether the header is malformed by Eudora, or incorrectly parsed on the semi-colons by TB!, maybe a thread for the tech list? Sorry about not posting using TB!, but I'm not confident enough to switch just yet. Andy

It's hard to work out which thread this message is a continuation for because there's no context reference, there are no In-Reply-To or References headers and the Subject doesn't match. I'm going to guess it's about the ...MAC... bits added to filenames by the Mac version of Eudora. I've seen someone claim that the messages didn't come from a Mac user but I have to insist on a technical basis that they did. > I don't know whether the header is malformed by Eudora, or > incorrectly parsed on the semi-colons by TB!, maybe a thread for the > tech list? The thread is on this list and I feel it's a valid thread to be discussed here. > Sorry about not posting using TB!, but I'm not confident enough to > switch just yet. Just one thing: Please do not write to the list in HTML. It is against the list rules and many of the members here do not appreciate it. Some even have filters to move any HTML mail directly to trash! - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D.

Hi Marck, On Fri, 12 Jul 2002 01:47:18 +0100 GMT (Jul 12, 06:32 my time), you [MDP] wrote: MDP> I'm going to guess it's about the ...MAC... bits added to MDP> filenames by the Mac version of Eudora.

I insisted they didn't come from the MAC user and I still stand by it. I called the friend who sent one such message to confirm that it was Eudora 5.1 on WinNT. Interestingly, I shut down ZA and switched to Outpost Firewall by Agnitum then downloaded that particular message again using Dispatch Mail on Server, and the attachments came out correctly ! -- Cheers, Sudip For PM:- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sudip Pokhrel Kathmandu-NP PGP Key ID: 0xD93F5185 http://pgpkeys.mit.edu -- Sys Info -- Using The Bat! v1.60q on Windows 98 4.10 (Build A ) H/W: Pentium IV 1.4 Ghz|256MB RAM|40GB HDD [IE 5.0, Opera 6.03 (default)] Current Ver: 1.60q FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
