Subject: Automagic content recognition - good or bad?
Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2002 13:48:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <hvsn2r7qj0.fsf@rasputin.ws.nextra.no> (raw)
Gnus tries very hard to be smart when viewing articles with
encapsulated files. But in the MIME-enabled world of today I often
find this more annoying than useful. Sure, recognising uuencoded files
may still be of some use, but shell archives and postscript files? I
propose that this feature is turned off by default. Ordinary lusers
like myself are very confused by not being able to discuss simple
shell scripts like
#!/bin/sh
echo .
exit 0
without Gnus thinking it's a shell archive and making an attachment
out of it.
