Er, waitaminute -- I take it back -- I wrote that code which rejects MIME
messages, and -- duh -- it'd be easy to let it allow in "application/x-
ldraw" while still rejecting other MIME types.
Does the MIME'ing of these convert the .dat file into binary gobs of
gooey ASCII blocks, or are they still readable as normal .dat files?
Could also be easy enough to have the web-interface display script have a
clickie for displaying it as a MIME .dat. Not much work at all.
Probably would want a special lugnet.cad.dat group though.
