Thanks for the informative post.
Your post contains several =, which are probably do to unusual characters,
or failure to use <cr> after each line.
Hi. I appreciate your posts, and find them valuable.
Please post in plain text = ascii, not attached mime.
This means set your mail program to post in plain text mode.
If your mail program is set to automaticly attach, or post in both plain text
and html or rich text, it will add many lines of mime code, even if you include
only plain text ascii.
It will also include two copies of your post, more than doubling its size,
with the extra mime code.
The solution to this problem is to set your e-mail program to default to
plain text.
Unix Mail will not detach and present mime encoded attachments.
Some of us read e-mail on line, and do not want to download and mime
unpack messages.
It should be just as easy to simply paste in the relevant file.
Of course I have no objection to mime encoding when it is necessary to attach
programs. Its just cumbersome and unnecessary for plain text ascii posts.
If you quote me, please put your comments first.
I have already listened to my questions.
Thanks.
