I have Scrubber enabled on my Mailman 2.1.5 configuration. It works fine stripping the attachments, except, why does it change a Microsoft Word extension ".doc" to a ".bin"? This makes it difficult to open the attachment, because you have to either save it to your hard drive and associate the file to open in the correct program, or choose which program to open it with. Why doesn't Scrubber just leave it at .doc and then when you click on the stripped attachment link, wouldn't it know to bring up the correct application and display the file? Or would it thing the content type is HTML?
That depends on what content-type your web server associates with .doc extensions.
Any solutions or work around. Please respond this is critical that I know if there is something I can do.
You might try putting a .htaccess file in archives/private/listname or in archives/private/listname/attachments with a
AddType application/msword bin
directive in it. Depending on your web server and browser, this may work, but if it does it will then try to open any .bin attachment with msword which will be a problem if you have any non-msword attachments that get saved with "bin" extensions.
