You need Java to run MimeCheck

If the above MIME Check signed Java Applet does not work…

  1. This signed Java Applet needs Java 1.5 or later, version 1.5.0_16 or later recommended, ideally 1.6.0_07 and a recent browser.
  2. You should see an Applet above looking much like the screenshot. If you don’t, the following should help you get it working:
  3. If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, try another browser. Seriously. Microsoft has taken great pains, over and over, to screw up Java and every other mult-platform standardisation.
  4. If you are using Internet Explorer 7, you must allow blocked content permission for Active X to run. This also gives permission to Java to run. Click the Information bar, and then click Allow blocked content. Unfortunately, this also allows dangerous ActiveX code to run. However, you must do this in order to get access to perfectly-safe Java Applets running in a sandbox. This is part of Microsoft’s war on Java. Don’t put up with it! Use a different browser.
  5. For this Java Applet to work, you must click grant/accept to give it permission to read from any server on the web.
  6. Optionally, you may permanently install the Canadian Mind Products DSA code-signing certificate so you don’t have to grant each time.
  7. If the above Java Applet appears to freeze-up, click Alt-Esc repeatedly to check for any buried permission dialog box.
  8. If you have certificate troubles, check the installed certificates and remove or update any obsolete or suspected defective certificates. The only certificate used by this program is mindprodcert2008dsa.
  9. To ensure your Java is up to date, check with Wassup.
  10. If the above Java Applet does not work, check the Java console for error messages.
  11. If the above Applet does not work, you might have better luck with the downloadable version.
  12. If you still can’t get the program working click HELP for more detail.
  13. If you can’t get the program working after trying the advice above and from the HELP button below, have bugs to report or ideas to improve the program or its documentation, please send me an email atemail Roedy Green.
