hi
new to the forum; went thru the listing of programs you maintain; saw i had a version of Opera not listed.
emailed it.
just received:
email subject line: Warning: E-mail viruses detected
Our virus detector has just been triggered by a message you sent:-
To: email@oldversion.com
Subject: opera v3-6-1 e32
Date: Sun Jun 29 20:54:16 2003
One or more of the attachments (opera v3-6-1 o361e32.exe) are on
the list of unacceptable attachments for this site and will not have
been delivered.
Consider renaming the files or putting them into a "zip" file to avoid
this constraint.
The virus detector said this about the message:
Report: Executable DOS/Windows programs are dangerous in email (opera v3-6-1 o361e32.exe)
so i checked the .exe file with AVG, Norton Anti-Virus, and The Cleaner and it came up with *no* virus.
and then i figured out the attachment didn't have a virus, it's your system rejecting attachments which are in .exe format.
if you want people to contribute to your site note the following:
1) amend your subject line. the attachment was *not* a virus, it was the program itself in .exe format.
2) if you require attachments to always be in .zip format, then i suggest you make this plainly clear
3) amend your subject line. you piss off people when you tell them they're sending viruses when in fact they aren't.
