I don't recall seeing anybody posting EXE files lately... I recently
posted an EXW *text* file as an attachment that came back a bit butchered
when I tried to retrieve it from the HTML interface for the list (extra
line feeds and other characters were added which prevented the code from
running properly) . So I reposted the same file as a zipped archive (which
corrected that problem).
I don't see a problem with that but I guess I can post the code directly in
my reply next time. I'd imagine what John was seeing was uuencoded
versions of the text and zip file.
So are we saying that all attachments considered a no-no?
