Hello, 

Seeking some advice from the smart people here.  

I administer a mailing list, which was recently upgraded to be able to
filter attachments.  Our attachments were set to pass:

	multipart/mixed
	multipart/alternative
	text/plain

but this was disallowing gzipped files, so I added 

	application/octet-stream

If you were me, would you set your filters like that, or use some other
set, or give up and pass everything?  

I chose "application/octet-stream" because that's how Sylpheed marked my
outbound attached gzipped file.  I don't know how Sylpheed made that
choice, nor if it was something I could configure.  

Thanks and regards, 

--jkl
