Sounds like the mime.types file isn't being found, but that's just a guess 
from what I'm reading here.

anarchists can call the President of Iran a "loon", a man clearly concerned for
every good person, on national airtime, then the right to freedom of speech
belongs to everyone.

Bye, aQ.  Don't let the door get you on your way out, watch that first

It appears that the libmagick++ function used to detect image types 
broke during the updates; hence, the program we use to pick up the 
binaries from the news server and put them into the database was not 
able to determine when an attachment was an image. It should be working 
now for new posts. I will repair the old ones shortly (I'll have to 
write some code to hit the DB and re-detect the type for the messages 
already in there).

Thank you for avoiding the pointless bickering and solving the problem.

By the way, I have noticed that messages posted in the web interface lack  
the end boundary marker when read through NNTP. It seems that the web  
interface creates all messages as "multipart/mixed" -- and the start  
boundary marker is always present -- but the end marker is omitted when  
there is only one part (i.e. no attachment).

This is not something caused by the server upgrade; I see it in messages  
 from 2005 (which is as far back as my archive goes). I only noticed it  
recently because Opera 10 points it out when earlier versions did not.

Appears as if it may be working again.  Thanks for fixing if indeed you did
Chris. (Or whomever was responsible)

Are you inferring I broke the web interface? :)

Blame needs to be cast if you are volunteering.
It appears to be fixed now, plus the images from the time it broke to when it
got fixed are all there now, so you should get off with a light sentence: 100
reflective spheres on a checkered plane.
