1. outgoing dtmail is application/octet-stream???

[to c.u.cde and c.u.solaris, followups to c.u.cde]

We're running CDE 1.0.2 on some Solaris 2.5.1 machines.  I've installed all
the recommended patches, plus a few others, minus 103461 (the one that
breaks everything).  A problem has recently been noticed and, as far as I
can tell, has always existed.

Outgoing email created with dtmail has a MIME type of "application /
octet-stream".  But it's just normal text, no attachments.  I even have that
silly "strict MIME character encoding" turned on -- there's no documentation
on what that /does/ but it's apparently all that allows the POP3 users to
read any dtmail-generated stuff.

Unfortunately, users outside our system can no longer read messages, since
they aren't being labeled as "text/plain".  How do I force a "text/plain"
tag on all the messages that are, in truth, plain text?

Our thanks for any tips.  DejaNews didn't have anything, so we broke down
and posted here.  :-)

    often enough that replying to things twice is annoying.  But thanks.
