Package: file Version: 5.04-5 Severity: normal Hello,
I am using MailScanner to filter my mail, which in turn uses 'file' to identify attachement file type. I had a .txt attachment stripped because file incorrectly identifies it as a binary file. --- file msg-2372-29.txt msg-2372-29.txt: COM executable for DOS --- The file is text in Windows-1251 encoding (generated by Windows Tunderbird e-mail client). The first 8 bytes are: --- od -N 8 msg-2372-29.txt 0000000 142724 154320 142722 146711 0000010 --- This problem was first seen on a system running Debian Squeeze, but I have reproduced it on my Sid workstation. Thanks, George. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.37-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages file depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-11 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libmagic1 5.04-5 File type determination library us ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime file recommends no packages. file suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
