Re: FLASH: flash & your email program?

Wayne,

No it is not. In fact this file will show in a limited number of

situations as can be seen form the way the email was sent.

Quoting from your mail and adding > so as to not confuse :

So what you are doing is sending a .swf file described as a mac-binhex40

file.

Care to guess why displaying this file is OS dependant ?


On a side note a quick recommendation. If your mail reader allows you to

view .swf files placed in an e-mail disable this feature at once as it

is a severe security risk.
