This debate is ludicrous. A - You can't execute a program on UNIX that isn't set as executable. Someone makes temporary files as executable? Not that I've ever seen. B - If your paranoid mount /tmp and /home as "noexec". Evolution saves temporary files in /tmp, and everything else a user writes should be in /home. So no problem, this doesn't have anything to do with file identification or e-mail attachments. _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
