Subject: ezmlm stripping Outlook attachments
We've had a number of complaints about ezmlm stripping plain
text attachments to posts such as patches sent by Microsoft Outlook.
Other mailers (e.g., Mozilla) don't have this problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to deal with it
other that to switch to a different mailer? More generally,
is there a document that describes the do's and don'ts of
posting to Apache lists?
I found that Outlook sends text attachments as
"application/octet-stream",
but not as "text/plain".
Does renaming the attachment from etc.patch to etc.txt help?

The Outlook attachment:
------_=_NextPart_001_01C7D91A.B3EC8530
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
name="etc.patch"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Description: etc.patch
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="etc.patch"
The Mozilla attachment:
--------------080001080007010006020507
Content-Type: text/plain;
name="rwtest.patch"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: inline;
filename="rwtest.patch"
