I also noticed strange behaviour of VRML 2.0 plugins with M$IE (maybe other browsers?) - they believes that every .gz file I wish to view must be a compressed VRML file :).
[...] That's probably caused by Microsoft MimeOLE, which thinks each and every .gz file is a vrml world. Your attachments are also marked as 'other/VRML' and x-world/x-vrml' (causing RFC-compliant MUA's to complain about them: Sun 03:07 PM] [PARSE] Unexpected characters at end of parameters: ,x-world/x-vrml; name="altered.gz" [Sun 03:07 PM] [PARSE] Unexpected characters at end of parameters: ,x-world/x-vrml; name="Dos-gpf.gz" [Sun 03:07 PM] [PARSE] Unexpected characters at end of parameters: ,x-world/x-vrml; name="Linux.gz" That's what you'll get by using `standard-related' software... BTW, how I know you're using MimeOLE? Simple: X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.71.1712.3 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.71.1712.3 Cheers//Frank
