For some reasons I missed Arthur's posting - and I don't know whether my comments will still be of interest : I had exactly the same problem sending pages to the web administrator of our hospital by e-mail. Now we use zipped files - even if there is only one file. The zip-name is still changed, but "internally" the filename stays the same. Best regards - Wolf -------------- Wolf W.

I would like to know it for when I loaded pages the robot or who else ? put it with a terrifying link on the Webpage. I still have trouble to write the links in a correct way into the files. I could do some of the test using MS-Mail and AOL Gruß aus HH Helmut H.

Rick, Uwe sends his file by Email: pages@genealogy.net - and the filenames are in upper case in MIME-Header. Could Uwe change it somewhere in setup?

Hmmm, that is a good question. There appear to be two unknowns here: (1) what mailer is Uwe using and

Inet_Mail_OUT v11 (according to Uwe's headers)

...

(2) what is the program which lies at the other end of the pages alias doing.

I can tell you what it tries to do ;-)

An incoming mail (via pages@...) is [should be]

stored as is in .../up/pages if it is an ordinary one part message torn into pieces and stored as several files in .../up/pages if it is a multipart message

The parts are [should be] converted from QP | Base64 to 8-Bit files If there is a filename given within the multipart message it is used. Otherwise a filename is made up [which sometimes fails]

I must admit that I didn't test it with more than my good old PINE program. There are some tiny differences between mailers. I thought it a useful idea for those who go online via modem in Germany where we are charged by the minute. Firing off a mail is usually quicker than establishing an ftp-connection.

If there are more people interested we could spend some time for a thorough test.
