Every mailing list that I'm aware of (except Arachne), prohibits binary
attachments all-together.
If a particular member insists upon continuing the practice... that
member is removed from the list.
Text attachments are perfectly acceptable.

It's not hard to handle if you get the "Digest to CNM" converter I made.<g>

"DGST2CNM" does the job just fine here.<g>

Since arachne-development will sometimes remain silent for several
months..... it's doesn't need to go to digest format.
It's only been generating 5 to 10 messages per week due to the recent
Linux "break-through".<g>

HTP is just the html "template" that will be used for a particular fuction.
(reply.htp, resend.htp.... etc...etc)
DGI is easy. It's just like batch file programming.<g>

Yes we can.... just place the cursor on that line and press Cntrl+C
Then place the cursor in the body of your message and press Cntrl+V
