application/msexcel is not a registered mime type (<http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/>). Thus, the python function mimetypes.guess_all_extensions() does not know what extension to assign to it and we default it to .bin. The underlying problem is the MUA that generated the message is not assigning the proper registered mime type application/vnd.ms-excel to the attachment. There are a few things you can do about it. 1) Use an MUA the gives .xls attachments the proper mime type, or 2) set SCRUBBER_USE_ATTACHMENT_FILENAME_EXTENSION = True in mm_cfg.py so Scrubber will use the extension from the file name instead of one based on the mime type and restart Mailman, or 3) add the line application/msexcel xls to one of the following files "/etc/mime.types", "/etc/httpd/mime.types", # Mac OS X "/etc/httpd/conf/mime.types", # Apache "/etc/apache/mime.types", # Apache 1 "/etc/apache2/mime.types", # Apache 2 "/usr/local/etc/httpd/conf/mime.types", "/usr/local/lib/netscape/mime.types", "/usr/local/etc/httpd/conf/mime.types", # Apache 1.2 "/usr/local/etc/mime.types", # Apache 1.3 and restart Mailman. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
