i'm sorry to bother but... sometimes theres an attachment in the posts on the list, a single file called: Teil 1.2 whys that? i dont want to open it to find out, as i have used computers before ;) therefore i suspect it to be either some security problem OR to be the alternative HTML version that is claimed to have been deleted. any light-shedding would be appreciated!

If I'm not mistaken, I think mailman is set to explicitly removes attachments from emails before it is broadcast to this list ... but I'm not 100% sure. -steve -- Steve Lianoglou Graduate Student: Computational Systems Biology ?| Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center ?| Weill Medical College of Cornell University Contact Info: cbio.mskcc.org/~lianos/contact

Neither "part 1.2" nor "Teil 1.2" is written anywhere in the source. - the r-help list footer somehow ended up as separate part of the email Cheers, Claudia -- Claudia Beleites Dipartimento dei Materiali e delle Risorse Naturali Universit? degli Studi di Trieste Via Alfonso Valerio 6/a I-34127 Trieste phone: +39 0 40 5 58-37 68 email: cbeleites at units.it
