Please help me determine why some attachments with 'content-type:
multipart' are posted and why some are rejected. The message below was
munged by me by changing names and addresses to protect the innocent. I'm
not sure if the MIME headers are non-compliant or if LISTSERV is trying to
be lenient. As you can see there is no specification of 'multipart' as
valid but my experience is that a lot of 'multipart/mixed' and
'multipart/alternative' is acceptable on the same list. Does LISTSERV
ignore some 'multipart' on the assumption that it need only operate on a
'real' content type? Thank you.
1) My headers look like this:
Attachments= image,application/rtf,application/pdf,application/*msword,
Attachments= application/ms-excel
Attachments= text/x-vcard
2) There is no LANGUAGE keyword
3) The release information is as follows:
