I didn't know that I was the cause of so much trouble :) Never received such an attachment myself (despite those from Brad which I deleted immediately for my anti-virus software is down temporarily and I don't want to take risks).
Regards and sorry for the inconvenience :) Lukasz -----Original Message----- From: John Coyle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 12:49 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Test, but please read and respond off list. I'm replying to this on-list because it may be interesting in clearing up why some people's messages appear as if they were attachments, when viewed in MS Outlook, and possibly in Outlook Express. I believe it may be because of the use of various international character sets in the Windows world. For example, many of gfen's (real name?) messages and those from Lukasz Kacperczyk, together with replies to them, appear as attachments in the form "ATT0000x.txt Charset = X-UNKNOWN". This is because I use the standard English (both US and elsewhere) PC-8 character set, and do not have the other sets loaded on my systems. This is probably true for most of us. Solution? Load every known character set for presentation purposes! In practical terms. recognise genuine attachments (which I think the list server now strips automatically) from this particular band-aid from Microsoft.
