Hi,
I'm trying to help a user who is subscribed to a list here at the University
at Albany. She wants to send a WordPerfect file through her list, and I'm
trying to find an Attachments= keyword to allow this.
Her list is currently configured as this:
Attachments= application/*msword,application/*excel,application/pdf,
Attachments= image/gif,image/jpeg
And it's not allowing the .WPD attachment through. I've tried testing with
a test list, and various email clients, and am having trouble finding the
entry that will allow all WordPerfect attachments through, in the way that
application/*msword allows all Word documents.
When sending this .WPD file from OE6, it seems to be tagged as
multipart/alternative. From NS4.8, it shows it as
application/x-unknown-content-typeWP9DOC. So the .WPD file is not being
consistently recognized as a certain content-type.
When I put Attachments= application/x-unknown-content-typeWP9DOC, and send
the attachment from NS4.8, it passes through this list ok. However, if I
send from OE6, it gets rejected as multipart/alternative.
A related question: Does Listserv recognize the * in application/*msword as
a wildcard? If not, what is the purpose of the asterisk?
I'd appreciate any help!
Thanks much.
