Not allowing filename

[Julian Field]

    [ The following text is in the "ISO-8859-1" character set. ]
    [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set.  ]
    [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ]

Sorry, I meant "your" and not "our". The line you need to add is your
allow   \.qxd\.pdf$   -   -
line (notice the extra \ I have added to it)
This needs to go near the top of the file.
Note that the 4 "words" on this line need to be tab-separated.
