If you upgrade to the newer query edit interface but did not allow users full access to search queries, the edit interface displays public queries that the user does not own in the section labeled "Queries I created". Updated upgrading.txt to discuss this problem and link back to the 1.4.17 upgrading instructions. Also included schema.py permissions that can be used to make the edit interface work correctly without allow full search access for queries. Updated the test script in the 1.4.17 upgrading instructions to display protected properties (like creator) to make dignosing this easier.

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. :)'''
