Howdy. I have tried searching the list archives as well as scouring the
documentation to no avail. If this is covered in an FAQ or man page please
refer me to it.
Basically, I most definitely do not want Hypermail to automagically decode
and save MIME attachements into the archive directory. People should not
be sending them to a list in the first place and I want to avoid any
potential security issues this might lead to. The docs offer an
"HM_IGNORE_TYPES" variable but unfortunately this appears to have no "wild
card" option. It is not really feasible to add every single possible MIME
type to this list since they are changing all the time anyways. What I
want to happen is that if the message contains anything other than plain
text it gets ignored (or at worst, gets inlined as plain text gobbledygook).
Is there was to achieve this with the rc file or a simple code hack? I
took an initial look but it was not immediately obvious to me.
Thanks for any feedback. . .
Cheers,
Ron
