I know this is off the current subject., but some of you are sending these e-mail's to the list that appear as attachments and not text.
This is even more annoying than HTML Mail.
The message appears with an empty body and attachments that have names that start with ATT....
This is annoying. Many people wont read your messages because opening attachments is a security risk. If you want your postings read, please use plain text e-mail and not these stupid ATT attachments.
(flame off)
<FLAME ON!> That would be annoying if it were true. What you are seeing is PGP/MIME, a standards based protocol for sending secure and authenticated messages. For some reason, you are using a non-standards compliant mail program with known security risks that can not recognize PGP/MIME as a valid MIME type. This could be why you are so concerned with opening attachments. Please filter all messages with the words PGP, Secure, and/or NANOG to prevent this misunderstanding in the future. - -- BillT@Mahagonny.com - PGP KeyID#: 0xFB966670 Anti-Microsoft Zelot since 1989 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE9K2oquLPldPuWZnARAv3qAJ9DVFQsFcCQdMOtAevy5j36BtMlpQCfc3Wk 81TaUdycdmmxAWKFmXlYf+c= =DOCd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
