Sorry about that. :-) As one of your subscribers, I feel endebted to you
for the work - thanks. While I *could* read the newsgroup, I found it
expires a little too quickly here and I tend to read it in batches, which
is a little more convenient.
While I'm here (and the flattery above wasn't the real intention for
writing anyway... :-)), can I ask if you've considered an alternative
format for posting? If you encapsulated the articles you pass into a
MIME envelope, it would make it much easier to use the source message
directly for replies and so forth, rather than having to fiddle with
the headers to get it right - it might reduce your load in any case.
You can even throw in your own comments into a separate section above
or below the original, and have your PGP signature separate.
Of course this might be too much trouble, so I offer it as a suggestion
only. MIME is proving very useful and becoming quite popular everywhere.
Regards,
David
