Simplify TOC; older docs pushed a level down; Consolidate debugging Restructured docs.txt. Pulled out older documents into Old Docs. I wish I could add whitespace between documents in the toc. Current order split into groupings: Roundup Features Roundup Features Installing Roundup Upgrading to newer versions of Roundup Reporting Security Issues with Roundup Roundup FAQ User Guide Customising Roundup REST API for Roundup XML-RPC access to Roundup Roundup Reference Roundup Glossary Administration Guide License Acknowledgements Other Docs debugging.txt removed. Its contents replaced a reference in developer.txt. Added olderdocs for: docs/upgrading-history docs/tracker_templates Design Overview <docs/overview> Design (original) <docs/design> docs/developers Notes about the MySQL Database backend <docs/mysql> Notes about the PostgreSQL Database backend <docs/postgresql> Richard Jones implementation notes <docs/implementation> docs/security-history to keep them out of the docs.txt sidebar.

def eml_to_mht(db, cl, nodeid, newvalues):
    '''This auditor fires whenever a new file entity is created.

    If the file is of type message/rfc822, we tack onthe extension .eml.

    The reason for this is that Microsoft Internet Explorer will not open
    things with a .eml attachment, as they deem it 'unsafe'. Worse yet,
    they'll just give you an incomprehensible error message. For more 
    information, please see:

    Their suggested work around is (excerpt):

     WORKAROUND

     To work around this behavior, rename the .EML file that the URL
     links to so that it has a .MHT file name extension, and then update
     the URL to reflect the change to the file name. To do this:

     1. In Windows Explorer, locate and then select the .EML file that
        the URL links.
     2. Right-click the .EML file, and then click Rename.
     3. Change the file name so that the .EML file uses a .MHT file name
        extension, and then press ENTER.
     4. Updated the URL that links to the file to reflect the new file
        name extension.

    So... we do that. :)'''
