It might be too obvious, and too easy.
But it seems to be an Issue.

I tested my Forum and was quite shocked.

When i edit any HTML-File (including Scripting) then rename like test.jpg and upload it as an attachment in the Message-Editor, the Message will be accepted and posted to the forum.

Now if i use IE and click on that link, which shows "test.jpg" the File will be opened and executed !
I tried this with a normal user account.

Now i think it might be a good idea to stop an file being executed. Even plain HTML might be a phishing risk.

I configured all Forums to zero - upload limit.

I heard you has been informed by an other person and already leave him a response.

So... you should write something here about it, too.

We discussed that point in another Forum, and this User now trying to blame FUDforum on public.

I'm wondering that you did not first response to this message or leave me at last a personal note.

I'm now treat this Problem as critical.

This is a bug in Internet Explorer, that causes it to parse images with invalid mime type as HTML. A fix for this bug was already applied to CVS and will be a part of the next FUDforum release.
