One important thing to remember: The DJGPP Mail Archive Search Engine
does NOT READ MIME OR HTML.

Please use plain old ASCII for mail, not MIME and not HTML.

Also, please DO NOT POST BINARIES.  Put them on an ftp or web server
somewhere (mine, if you can't find any others) and email the URL.  I
have to *pay* for my network connection, and mailing those huge files
to hundreds of mailing list subscribers costs me a lot of money(*).

Thanks,
DJ


(*) I don't know the exact amount, but I handle tens of thousands of
email messages a day, and my link is *saturated* (hundreds of Mb a
day, mail+ftp+web).  The blinky lights stopped blinking a long time
ago; they're on solid now.
