When I looked at the outgoing message in my gmail account, I found
that the (plain text) message had been classified as "type binary" and
when I tried to read it with Firefox the only thing I could do was
save it to a file. After that, I could look at the saved file with
"vi" or "less". Perhaps I should have named it "sd_log.txt" instead
of "sd_log".
