Usually, and until last Friday, using Netsurf on the ARMini X Orpheus
webmail recognises doc files as application/MS word - from I think the
Mime file in !Boot. Since Monday this has changed to plain/text. Ditto
with pdf. This nakes the files unreadable to non RISC OS users, who
natyurally are the majority with whom I deal and it is inconvenient to say
the least as our revenue earners are reports and publications.
This is a problem only on the ARMini running Netsurf to reach Orpheus. On
the Iyonix running Netsurf all is fine and on other platforms/ browsers,
which suggests Orpheus is not the problem - a point which Richard Brown
has made firmly. Neither Netsurf nor Orpheus appear to have Choices
settings that look as if they control this.
I am simply trying to find out where in the chain ARMini X - Netsurf -
Orpheus something might be going wrong so I can fix it. The Mime file
itself looks ok by the way. And as I say all was well last Friday and I am
not aware that I have changed anything to cause the problem. But something
is clearly corrupted in the chain. I have tried retrograding to NS 3.1 but
the problem persists. I am posting to ARMini support because the problem
of corruption could lie with the machine or Netsurf, but not for the
reasons stated is it likely to be Orpheus.
