Okay this is confusing. Your scoreboard guidelines (http://www.netfilter.org/scoreboard/) say that you should include patches "straight in the body of the message, not MIME'd." Honestly I've always found this policy bizzare. It wasn't but a week ago that Henrik was asking that someone resend a MIME'd patch in plain text. (http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/netfilter-devel/2002-June/004760.html) Yes I understand that one was base64'ed but some people may not have complete control over how their MIME implementation works. If the argument against MIME is that the mailing list archives can't handle it. Perhaps those people should switch to using marc.theaimsgroup.com. For instance the very message Henrik was complaining about not being readable because it was base64 is handled properly here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=netfilter-devel&m=102389029101252&w=2 Either way we should pick a standard and follow it. Frankly MIME is a common standard and attaching patch is intuitive. So I think we should go that route. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org We tend to see all wars through the lens of the current conflict, and we mine history for lessons convenient to the present purpose. - Brian Hayes
