# I am having two problems with Majordomo right now.  If anyone can be of
# assistance, please mail me back.
# 
# 1. Binary files are not being uuencoded for "get" commands.  Instead, it is
# reading them directly into the message.

This was overlooked in the rush to get the "get/index" code out the
door.  Basicly, you need to add code like "if (-B file) {
uuencode_file }" to the "do_get" subroutine.

# 2. Files under a symbolic link are not seen by the "get" command.  You can do
# an "index" of this directory with no problem, but if you try a "get" of any o
# f
# the files, it will state they do not exist.

I can't reproduce this problem; it works fine for me.  Most of the
archives accessible via "Majordomo@GreatCircle.COM" (such as the
Firewalls archive) are actually symlinks to other directories on my
system, and I don't have this problem.
