Understandable.

Here's a patch for the current Fortress README.txt.  I would include runtime /
build requirements, but I wasn't sure what they were.

The examples.zip probably needs it's own README.txt too.

As long as there is no executale mime-type (i.e. *.exe, etc.) I would
be for it.  The reason is that .patch, .diff, .xml, .xconf, etc. are
all semi-standards (well, .xml is a standard) and folks do have
thick thumbs at times (myself included).

I just don't want viruses or anything like that.

It seems like some types of attachments get stripped off. I believe only 
a few types of files (I think .zip and .txt) make it through, and only 
messages of up to 100kb make it through.

there was some talks about this on infrastructure recently; basically 
qmail is fully configurable and we can ask apmail to configure this 
however we want to. I believe it is easy enough to disable the mimetype 
filtering on attachments. Do we want that? If so, just for the dev@ list 
(my opinion) or for the users@ list as well?

cheers,

Did you send it, or did it get stripped in transit?

Just past the diff into the body of the email.
