Hello,

Last month we started to provide a MailMan (version 2.1.5) list for Public Libraries in Wisconsin. Sending messages with binary attachments (like Excel files) to MailMan lists with Eudora 6 seems to be problematic. The problem does not occur in testing with Netscape or Mozilla email clients. Many of our list subscribers stated that the attachment had become part of the text message as a large random table of text. Here is a sample of the problem:

--=====================_209060==_
Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="filename.xls";
        x-mac-type="584C5334"; x-mac-creator="5843454C"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="filename.xls"

Has anyone experienced this before? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you,
