Is a obscure point. To know it you have to learn SMTP, probably reading the RFC. >>>>>>>>>>> When RFC 822 format [7, 32] is being used, the mail data include the memo header items such as Date, Subject, To, Cc, From. Server SMTP systems SHOULD NOT reject messages based on perceived defects in the RFC 822 or MIME [12] message header or message body." <<<<<<<<<<< You seems a informed person. We have to ignore this message? It looks somewhat odd and out of context (mostly because the sender never added context). I can see how, if Wikipedia host pdf files, some of these can act as vector for malware. If wikipedia serve the files unmodified, I can see how is possible to write a "renderer to memory" that rebuild the whole file, withouth any scripting. But such thing may take lots of hours of programmers, and mediawiki seems very limited by that factor (and not epicness, there are lots of epics things in the mediawiki proyects... BRAVO!). -- -- ℱin del ℳensaje. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
