Re: No programs allowed and the character é at the beginning of a mail

[Alexis Michon]

Ok, thanks you.
I found this post :
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.virus.mailscanner/20385/match=magic+word

And my text file is confused with DOS executable (COM)

bash 3-0# file msg-20083-37.txt
msg-20083-37.txt: DOS executable (COM)
,
In the mail, his modification seems to be good, but  does someone use it
in production environnent  ?
