What binary file is in the mail? The MIME content-type specified for that attachment is “application/octet-stream”. That explicitly means a stream of bytes, in an opaque format. Whether that specification is correct can only be determined by opening the content; exactly the mistake Erwan is warning against. -- \ “I thought I'd begin by reading a poem by Shakespeare, but then | `\ I thought ‘Why should I?

So is sending any sort of file attachment to this forum. :) Ric -- My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.

The only content provided by Debian is a small metadata update by the package maintainer. Last week flash plugin 24.0.0.186 went live for Linux NPAPI. This is a major upgrade over 11.2.202.644. It appears that the old version of flashplugin-nonfree in wheezy is incompatible with these changes. I was able to install flashplugin-nonfree from testing on a Debian wheezy live system (7.11). I added the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list (and I like to comment-out this line when not in use): deb http://http.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib then ran "apt-get update" and installed with: apt-get install -t testing flashplugin-nonfree You can confirm the installation by running: update-flashplugin-nonfree --status and by navigating to: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Kind regards, -- Ben Caradoc-Davies <ben@transient.nz> Director Transient Software Limited <http://transient.nz/> New Zealand
