Todd,

I enounter an anomaly in Outlook Express (6.00.26) with FTX-formatted posts,
as OE seems to think every such post has an attachment (showing the paper
clip symbol in the thread view).

This is not a serious problem, but a bit irritating, as those clips normally
has indicated a post I should not read (virus, large attachment, etc. etc.).

Opening the post doesn't show any attachments, there is nothing extra to
open, so I'm wondering *why* OE gives this indication. Could it be your
"Content-Type: text/x-ftx; charset=iso-8859-1" header?

(I suppose this should go to .admin.nntp but I don't read that group, so
pleas continue any newsreader discussions in .publish)

Once upon a time, when LUGNET first served up messages via the web, messages were displayed in a fixed-width font. (...)
