From: bet at rahul.net (Bennett Todd) Subject: NEVER open attachments 2004-03-19T19:27:53 VB: > NEVER open attachments NEVER use a Mail User Agent (MUA) like Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1158 (from your X-Mailer: header). Folks like those you listed post digitally signed messages, conforming to standards. They are doing things exactly right. Your MUA is broken, and is incorrectly claiming that the multipart/signed messages with a text/plain body followed by an application/pgp-signature are some kind of attachment that requires opening. If you choose to use incompetently designed and poorly implemented software, don't blame the rest of the world for the problems you cause yourself. But, of course, since you refuse to read digitally signed messages, since it's unsafe with your mail user agent, you won't see this either. I think it's about time to procmail that X-Mailer into a junk bucket. -Bennett -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
