Problems with inline warnings.

[Michael Svendsen]

Hi again

here is the version no. of the perl packages.

Btw. I use Mailscanner ver. 4.22-5



dev-lang/perl           5.8.0-r12
dev-perl/IO-stringy     2.108-r1
dev-perl/MIME-Base64    2.20
dev-perl/MailTools      1.58
dev-perl/File-Spec      0.84-r1
dev-perl/HTML-Tagset    3.03-r2
dev-perl/HTML-Parser    3.30
dev-perl/MIME-tools     5.411a-r2
dev-perl/File-Temp      0.12
dev-perl/Convert-TNEF   0.17-r2



I have not applied the security-patches, since I thought that they were
included in the new version of MIME-tools.



Best Regards

Michael

In which case you have a bug in your email app. The warnings are sent an
"inline" MIME sections in this case and should be rendered with the main
body text.

attachment.

Not a clue on that one. Never seen it before.

How did you install MailScanner? If you used the manual installation route
did you successfully apply all 4 security patches to MIME-tools? Did you
use the version of MIME-tools I recommend?
