How do I configure my list for attachments?


How do I configure my list for attachments? Attachment settings are contained in your list headers. See the FAQ "How do I change the header settings of my list?" for more information on updating list headers. If your list does not have an Attachments= line in its headers, all attachments are allowed. The same is true if it has Attachments= Yes. It's unlikely the ability to post any type of attachment is what you really need. You might not need the ability to post attachments at all. Attachments= No disallows any but plain-text attachments. This is the safest setting. Attachments= No,Filter accepts messages with any type of attachment, but filters out the attachment itself. There may be situations where this is useful. Attachments= <filter based on MIME Content Type> MIME content types are visible only in the full headers of an email message, and look something like this: `Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII` Here are some tested filters to allow certain types of attachments: use as many or few as you need. `Attachments= application/pdf` Allow pdf (.pdf) attachments `Attachments= application/word` Allow MS Word (.doc) attachments `Attachments= application/wp` Allow WordPerfect (.wp) attachments `Attachments= application/rtf` Allow Rich Text (.rtf) attachments
