Messages from Strathspey often appear to have an attachment (according to the Outlook Express icons). I though it was forbidden. Is something underhand afoot? I also get postmaster messages telling that my messages to Strphapsey could not be delivred to various unknown personnages. Just more clutter in the mailbox, I guess. Martin

Yes, I've noticed attachments seeming to appear with some messages lately too. I think it's linked to whether the message is plain text or not - when there's an attachment, there's also a line at the top saying "This message was written in a character set other than your own." and offering the possibility of opening it in a new window if it doesn't display correctly. This is something my webmail does because of its limited display capabilities (I think - things like accents typed on a French computer often turn into something weird). I don't see any attachment when I get the same e-mail at home (using a standard mail software). I think it's nothing to be worried about, but no doubt Anselm or one of the numerous other "computer people" (as opposed to dabblers like myself) on this list will give a more accurate explanation.

This is really very simple: If a message allegedly comes from Strathspey but has an attachment of whatever kind, it can't be from Strathspey. Repeat after me: THE STRATHSPEY LIST DOES NOT DO ATTACHMENTS. The messages you're seeing probably result from other folks' computers which are running certain kinds of viruses/worms. These programs pick a random address out of the host's address book to use for camouflage when they're sending messages to everybody else in the address book. Since Strathspey is fairly popular (I'm glad to say) it does turn up in rather a lot of address books, so the chances of it being used as cover for worms are pretty fair. As far as »postmaster messages« are concerned: All the postmaster messages to do with Strathspey mail distributions should go to myself (or, rather, my mailing list software, which takes care of most of them automatically). Everything else is either a sign of severe breakage on the part of the receiving mail server, or something else entirely. There are, again, viruses/worms who send out messages that pretend to be postmaster »bounces«, in the hope that these will be looked at more thoroughly than garden-variety spam. If you are in doubt about anything in your mailbox that looks as if it might have come from Strathspey, feel free to forward me a copy privately so I can have a look at it.

OK - I've repeated it :-) But - much (not all) of the mail that comes to me from Strathspey list arrives as MIME Multipart messages, and Firefox (and presumably other email clients) will describe this as an email with attachments. The following email (complete message source) shows up as though it had two attachments - "Part 1.2" and "Part 1.3"; which were the sections http://strathspey.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/strathspey and No virus found in this incoming message.

This is weird. I was going to blame your anti-virus software, but on closer checking it seems that it is something the [censored] Mailman does. It drives me up the wall because that link is no use, anyway, and never has been :^( So it seems that I'll have to ask you to bear with me for another week or two. I'm currently teaching my new mailing list software about digests, and once that works to my satisfaction it'll be curtains for Mailman as far as I'm concerned. (I should agree to give talks on my software projects more often -- it does wonders for my productivity :^)) Incidentally, if there's something about digests that you always wanted to say, now is the time. I can do plain-text digests as per RFC1153 now but if you'd rather have MIME digests I'm going to do that too (though probably not both at the same time). Let me know.

That's what I meant, although obviously I didn't explain it very well. In my case they're called "unnamed". They're not attachments in the real sense (ie. something the sender attached), it's just the way some messages (HTML ones?) appear in some mail applications. If I'm in doubt about a message and can't view the source (my provider's web-application won't let me), I usually go and check if it's in the latest postings on the strathspey homepage. All the latest postings with these kinds of "attachments" were there and were genuine answers to current threads by known list members!

Looking at the last few messages I noticed the following: Mailman seems to want to append the »link« trailer to the message using a particular character encoding (ISO-8859-1, to be exact). If the message is already using that encoding to start with (as mine do), it is simply appended to the original message body, but if the message's encoding is different (say, »us-ascii«), the trailer goes in as an attachment. This is sensible, from one point of view; from another point of view it is stupid because nothing in the trailer actually requires the national characters in ISO-8859-1. >From a third point of view, the trailer is no use, anyway, and an utter waste of bandwidth to boot, so I've turned it off in the list configuration. Should have done that a year ago, actually.

I think that the AVG virus checker is the clue. A non-Strathspey friend of mine has gone over to this virus-checker and mails from them now show an attachment ie a paperclip. Some of my mails from know Strathspey correspondents also show this characteristic in my mailbox. Andrew, Bristol, UK.
Feb. 5, 2006, 5:29 p.m. (Message 44145, in reply to message 44143)
Andrew, They are getting this 'paperclip' in the attachment field because the person who is using AVG has set the configuration to "certify incoming" and also "certify outgoing" mail as having been checked by AVG. To remove this 'paperclip' the user should click once on CONTROL CENTRE then the EMAIL SCANNER box then the PROPERTIES button at the bottom then the CONFIGURE button. Under the heading EMAIL SCANNING you can either remove the tick from both boxes which say CERTIFY MAIL or place a tick in the two boxes which say WITH ATTACHMENTS ONLY. That way only mail with attachments will have the certification and hence the 'paperclip' symbol. Provided the tick is kept in the two boxes CHECK INCOMING MAIL and CHECK OUTGOING MAIL then all email is still scanned for viruses and you will be alerted if any are found. I have used AVG Free for a number of years and it has detected numerous emails trying to come in with virus attachments. This past few months there have been sometimes 4 or 5 on some days. None have got through into my system. How do I know? I regularly carry out an online scan to double check. Alasdair Graham Dumbarton, Scotland..

Alasdair, Thank you so much for this help - I can only apologise for not thanking you earlier, but the beginning of the year was not good, and I was fielding so many mails that some inevitably were shelved. I have just been trying to tidy things up, having a lull in proceedings, so thanks and apologies again. Happy dancing. Andrew.
