You are right -- PNG support works fine if Arachne is told the file is
image/png.
Now, this is just another example of headings messing us up, and Arachne
not being able to do anything because it's told text/plain.
Maybe, just maybe, it might be possible to have a function in Arachne
that allows us to tell it "Hey, it ain't text/plain ... it's bin .." or
"it's image/png" or whatever. I'm working to find out how those of us
with shell accounts can make Apache show a file the way we want it shown
[binary rather than text/plain is a problem some of us have at present].
Maybe Arachne checks file type in the wrong order?? Today I got an
attached file which was a JPG [JFIF format] and it kept *not*
rendering because MS Outlook had declared it to be image/tiff at time of
encoding. Despite the fact the filename was IRS_MAIL.JPG, despite the
fact that the first line of the file identified it as JFIF [and I had
made an addition to mime.cfg to ID image/jfif as JPG], Arachne took
Outlook's word on the matter, the same way it takes Apache's word on
"text/plain."
There oughta be a way ...
