[rt.amsl.com #1799] I also encountered this problem (rt.amsl.com #1730), and after some debugging, discovered what the problem was: the submission tool uses the "file" program to check whether the file is plain text or not, and (apparently) the "file" program on the new servers behaves slightly differently from the old one. In particular, if you have the string "(if approved)" on your cover page, some versions of "file" (at least some Linux distributions) will identify your draft as "Lisp/Scheme program text" instead of just ASCII :-) Best regards, Pasi _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx http://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
