Not many on the list do have MIME readers. I wish to ask those who do use
a MIME editor if they can switch it into a simple ascii format, so the
rest of us don't have to spend forever waiting for the message to decode.
Does everyone who requested the squat army list from me have a way of
uudecoding a file, because that would be the safest way of sending a
message to you guys...
