Indeed. I don't know if it's a recent change, but the list of allowable attachment types has been set to:
multipart/mixed multipart/alternative text/plain
I just added:
text/x-cplusplus
I can think of a large number of possible additional mime types that should likely be allowed, such as the following alternative mime types for C++ and C code: text/x-c++src text/x-c++hdr text/x-csrc text/x-chdr In addition, text/x-patch is sometimes used for patch files, which I've attached to messages to this list on a few occasions in the past. I can also imagine some cases in which it would be useful to be able to attach HTML, XML, and (other) SGML files, which cover a large number of mime types. What is the reason for restricting the types of attachments anyway? There doesn't seem to be much or any spam which gets through to the list. -- Jeremy Maitin-Shepard
