When we post a new issue online we include a url right to the PDF.
Not to say we can't change that link to be somthing like:
http://www.mysite.com/download.php?file=/TSR/0104/fullissue.pdf
However all the old emails that are out there would still point right
to the PDF. So I guess we could make apache FWD and PDF GET requests
to the following script. Hmmm. Well I'll think about it.
Thanks for all the help Sebastian.
