Howdy,

I hope y'all will allow me to remind (even beg) you to please,
Please, PLEASE avoid posting emails using anything other than
just plain old ASCII text, OK?  Please avoid the pointlessly
tricky formats like MIME, RichText, HTML, TNEF or anything
else.  The fact that *YOU* happen to like/use a given encoding
doesn't mean everybody else is equipped/willing to decode it.
The fact that you CAN use some gee-whiz formatting doesn't
mean it's a good idea.  People read email on lot of different
kinds of machines, configured a lot of different ways - plain
old ASCII text is suitable for 99% of messages and the only
format likely to work with everybody's email software.  Thanks...


Regards,
