I don't know why this would happen with Mailman only, and it does seem like a VPN issue or a VPN/web server integration issue. All Mailman pages except for public archives are served by CGI scripts (which may account for the lack of filename) and they all begin with a Content-Type: text/html; charset=xxx header where 'xxx' is the character set associated with the language of the page. PHP should not be involved at all. Certainly, the application/x-httpd-php content type does not come from Mailman. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
