Forum library

SDL Development
1

To Sam Lantinga: you do REALLY need some search engine in the SDL Forum library. Not only by title but also by content. Also, attachments aren’t stored correctly and
I had to make a real mess (creating a Outlook Express email with text editor, duh!) to decode a 64-bits encoded C++ attachment in a mail.

2

File attachments really aren’t appropriate for a mailing list.
If someone has something to share as a file, they should place it
on an FTP or website for download, so that only those who want it need
to worry about the bandwidth…

Exactly, all emails with an attachment are automatically transfered to my
trash folder - 90% of them make my virus scanner pop up.

Yeah but not when the attachment is a 30-lines-long C++ source file…>Exactly, all emails with an attachment are automatically transfered to my

When it is a 30 lines CPP file it should be inside the mail anyway.> ----- Original Message -----

Er, this email is an attachment as far as some mailers are concerned.
The mailers are dumb and can’t handle RFC-compliant PGP-MIME messages even
as plain text. It’s sad really, but what can you expect from Micr^Wsome
programmers? You’d think with all this “identity theft” going on with
w32.klez people would take digital signatures seriously, ne?On Sat, May 04, 2002 at 02:36:43AM -0700, Lars Laukamm wrote:
