Roeland, And how will an email attachment of that nature be opened ? If the file extension is unrecognized, the user receiving the attachment will also not be able to open it. It is your job as a web server admin to make sure that the proper mime types have been set up. As new file types creep up, you create new mime types. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roeland Meyer" <[email protected]> To: "'Scott Francis'" <[email protected]>; "Mitch Halmu" <[email protected]> Cc: "John Fraizer" <[email protected]>; "Roeland Meyer" <[email protected]>; "'Steve Sobol'" <[email protected]>; "Shawn McMahon" <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, May 26, 2001 3:34 AM Subject: RE: EMAIL != FTP > > > From: Scott Francis [mailto:[email protected]] > > Sent: Friday, May 25, 2001 4:03 PM > > > Oh give me a break - is there ANY modern browser that will > > not prompt you to > > save the file if it does not recognize it as a displayable > > format?
