Sorry for the blank message, what i meant to say was... Wouldn't it just be easier for people, specifically this person, to read the entire message and then see 'oh click here to remove myself'. Brings me back to the 90's when i read 'remove me from this list' which i think should be followed by 'because im too stupid/lazy/ignorant/self important to do it myself'. If the person in question is offended by my response then... good. On 1/4/11, Jerry Van Suchtelen <worldgate989(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Wow Jerry, This is an amazing read. It's fascinating you should think all this. I'm glad you're also keen on offending people, because we need people like you in our underground plan to wipe out 'that element of the human race' who always cause a 'problem'. Seeing as you have no problem with offending, this is good news, and we will add your email address to our network for exterminators in the new reich.

Sounds sensible to me.

Hi Nick! That's exactly what I thought after reading your last e-mail. Everybody else: yes people should unsubscribe themselves, but the useless noise generated by these threads are just that: useless noise. In the future, how about nobody reply and let the list mod handle it :) -Chad

Any one have a problem if I don't let his messages go on this list anymore, he was removed yesterday but is still sending mails, I think he just likes the dramaz? Or that he is on a other email also on this list :D Best, Huib 2011/1/5 Domas Mituzas <midom.lists(a)gmail.com> -- Regards, Huib "Abigor" Laurens Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate

I have removed the extra entries in mime.info and mime.types. I have changed to:- $wgFileExtensions = array('png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'doc', 'xls', 'mpp', 'pdf', 'ppt', 'tiff', 'bmp', 'ps', 'pps'); I've saved the document in Word .doc format and using the markup:- [[File:AgreementV2.doc]] Gives me the same error:- "File extension does not match MIME type."

Jim Thanks for this what impact does $wgVerifyMimeType = false have?

If you do find a solution please post it. One thing to note, if you save a file in Office7 as a "doc" file, instead of "docx", it is still going to have the docx mime type (zip). For now I suggest to my users to do one of the following to get their Office7 documents into the wiki: 1) Save the document as a PDF, then upload the PDF file. 2) Contact me about uploading and I will temporarily turn off mime type checking ($wgVerifyMimeType = false in LocalSettings.php). I prefer method (1) since Office files, when selected by a wiki user, open in an Office application, like Word, which is an editor. It is tempting for users to make edits and then save thinking that it will save back to the wiki when in reality they must save to their computer and then upload it to the wiki. A PDF file will open in an adobe reader eliminating any confusion about editing the document. -Jim -----Original Message----- From: Charlie Markwick [mailto:charlie-markwick@southcot.com] Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2011 10:18 AM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Upload Problem I have removed the extra entries in mime.info and mime.types.

Thanks Jim For us that wouldn't be a problem as it is purely internal so I'll try that in the interim.

I believe you can then upload anything that has an extension listed in $wgFileExtensions, which is why I remove it only temporarily since it opens a security hole (e.g., uploading a malicious zip file masquerading as a png file). -Jim -----Original Message----- From: Charlie Markwick [mailto:charlie-markwick@southcot.com] Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2011 11:04 AM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Upload Problem Jim Thanks for this what impact does $wgVerifyMimeType = false have?

Quick followup. I'm still running 1.16 beta. How do I update to the latest version of 1.16? A pointer to a web page would be enough. I couldn't find it myself when I looked.
