[Explanation of some srot of encoding snipped]

Let's set down a few suggestions for ground rules.

1. No huge attachments. Sources posted ought to be small and
   attached as plain text. Use your mailer's "paste" and not its
   "attach" feature as some brain-dead mailers will always encode
   "attach"ed files as though they were binary.
2. No encoding, as in, no HTML, no rich text, none of these
   encodings, especially ones that obfuscate or mangle sources as
   appears to have happened above.
3. MIME headers for TEXT attachments and the headers and footers
   generated by PGP, being small and unobtrusive (not garbling the
   body text) are tolerable.

If these seem reasonable to a majority including DJ, I suggest we stick by
them.
