My MIME-digest of the SURVPC-mailinglist has been screwed up twice
lately, and I believe Ben Jemmet is to blame, perhaps. Or maybe
Windows has conspired with Outlook Express...
In one of his messages in the last digest (the same thing happened
earlier this week - also in a message from Ben), the headers looked
like this:
> Date: Tue, 23 Mar 1999 18:39:07 -0000
> From: Ben A L Jemmett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
> Subject: Brilliant.
> MIME-Version: 1.0
> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="_autodetect_all"
> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
>
That peculiar "charset" seems to drive my ISP's mailserver crazy (or
if it is Softcon's, I don't really know) because it adds this message
to the digest:
> This message uses a character set that is not supported by the
> Internet Service. To view the original message content, open the
> attached message. If the text doesn't display correctly, save the
> attachment to disk, and then open it using a viewer that can display
> the original character set. <<message.txt>>
The overall content-type of the message from Softcon in changed from
"multipart/digest" to "multipart/mixed" and Pegasus, which I'm using
to read it, gets confused and I cannot browse the postings the usual
way.
So, please, if you could change that into something more common like
"us-ascii", it would be greatly appreciated.
