[Esd-l] Weird behavior on some attachments

[Mark Wendt]

Arrrrggghhhh,

	Microshite Outhouse!!!!!  Doing it to me again....  Outhouse 2000 and 
2002, acting outside the normal bounds of the email world.  But why should 
that surprise me?  I send an attachment from Eudora with a ".exe" 
attachment, mail goes to the server, I pop the server, get the email with 
the attachment stripped.  Perfect. Just want I want.  I send the same 
attachment through Outhouse 2002, mail goes to the server, I pop the 
server, get the email back, and find that the attachment has been seen as a 
UUE attachment, and it mangles the extension.  So, I says to me self, self, 
WTF?  I figure what the hell, lets try Outhouse 2000.  I sends the email 
with the ".exe" attachment through Outhouse 2000, mail goes to the server, 
I pop the server, get the email back, and lo and behold - behavior unlike 
any other!!!!  This time, the attachment is seen as a MIME attachment, and 
the attachment is supposedly stripped, at least I don't see the attachment 
as an attachment, but guess what?  The whole damned attachment is now 
99.999% of the body of the email in all it's glorious MIME gobbledy gook.


	Oh great Sanitizer Gods, how can I make the Sanitizer behave (I know I 
can't make the Microshite products behave.....) the same for the M$ 
products as they do for most normal email clients.  I just want to strip 
the attachment completely off, leaving the body of the email intact.
