Thread: mbox format
Hello, Apparently Internet Explorer can not directly open (or download) the mbox files on archives.postgresql.org. Firefox recognizes them as actual mailbox files. I have no idea what IE is doing with them. We need to get the mbox files in a compressed format on the web, gz or zip. Marc what is this going to take? Or do I need to write a mod_rewrite that processing them through a script before they are sent? Sincerely, Joshua D.

Could this be a subproblem of the more general problem that the mbox files simply do not exist at the URLs that the links point to? -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/

I'm currently converting to the .gz format though, so its possible you are seeing the transition? just tested from here on pgadmin-hackers, which is done, and its downloading fine for me ... ---- Marc G.
