The OED I have here defines 'disk' as the US spelling of 'disc', so
the usage of 'disc' in the Exim message would seem correct (by
dictionary definition) even if if doesn't feel right.

I tend to use 'disc' for CD/DVD and 'disk' for floppy diskettes &
hard disks. I'll have to change that now, though. :)
