bug in Mailscanner 4.60.8-1?

[ajs at vifilfell.is]

sure.

on gentoo you'll find the 'magic' file in '/usr/share/misc/file/magic'.
on red hat it's located at '/usr/share/file/magic'.
change to the appropriate directory. open the file with an editor and look 
for this line :

        0      byte            0xe9            MS-DOS executable (COM)

0xe9 is hex for 'É'. just comment it out. then compile the file with the 
command :

        file -C

cheers, asgeir.
