I see no answer to Nick's point: is there really any rule about attached binary files on CLUG's email list?. As far as I can understand, file size or redundant quoted messages are different concepts to binary file type. Of course everybody knows that, but sometimes I wonder, struggled by my son, what are rules for. �Are they maybe like cooking recipes, that can be changed (as tradition change) while general taste is respected by the cooker? Changing sugar for salt, although while both being similar in color, weight and solubility, could be rather strange for table guests. "Do what you want as long as you love", one's said. (But, before repeating that I should first hear me telling that to my teenager's daughter. Now she's only 2 years old, meanwhile I'm just a joker.) -juan
