everytime an attachment becomes scrubbed, some document types get a new fileextension like .bin or .exe
e.g. the attached file was text.sxw (staroffice-text-document):
in archive and digests it gets scrubbed like this:
Dateiname : plan.sxw Dateityp : application/vnd.sun.xml.writer Dateigröße : 5449 bytes Beschreibung: nicht verfügbar URL : https://.../pipermail/.../attachments/.../plan.bin
why .bin?
is this because the "scrubber" doesnt know what "application/vnd.sun.xml.writer" is ? why is the extension changed anyway? can i affect this behavior in any way?
$prefix/Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py uses the Python mimetypes module to try and determine an appropriate file extension from the MIME type it has found. The standard set of such mappings held by the mimetypes module does not include application/vnd.sun.xml.writer.
The mimetypes module attempts to parse a number of files when loaded to extend the mappings it knows about; you could add the missing MIME definitions to one of these files and this should solve your problem.
Try running python from the command line as shown in the following transcript; this will tell you which files the mimetypes module attempts to harvest information from. Add what you want to one of these files, if any exist on your system, or you could create one of them containing what you need if none of them exist on your system. This works for me with Python 2.2.2 and 2.3. You may need to check the mimetypes module documentation if you run some other Python version.
