[Esd-l] Binary file problems in sanitizer -Error Messages

[thomas at bostaden.swedlaw.com]

Hi again,

with reference to my earlier post.

I have the following error messages in my procmail.log
----
Checking document "test.doc" for stripping
Checking document "test.doc" for poisoning
Mangling executable filename "test.doc"
Mangling MIME type "APPLICATION/MSWORD"
Err: Decoding; No such file or directory - mimencode?
-------

Exactly what file or directory does the error message refer to?
