...is unreadable, and so is...

  o enforce</DIV>
  <DIV>&gt;acceptable use policies by the service provider.&nbsp;&nbsp;</DI=
  V></DIV>

...this.  if you're on this mailing list, please configure your user
interface to output 79-column ascii card images, with no =foo or html.

if or when nanog@ moves to a different format, it'll likely be jabber
