+amount of spam on the lists. To further reduce the possibility of spam
+appearing on the lists, the Jazz++ project developers ask that you PLEASE
+observe the following two items of 'list etiquette' when posting the Jazz++
+lists ;
</p>
+<h4>'PCYMTNQREAIYR'</h4>
+<p>
+<u>Please Configure Your Mailer To Not Quote Raw E-mail Addresses In Your
+Replies</u>. Some email programs ('Mailers') by default include the raw e-mail
+address in the "Joe <joe@example.com> wrote:" line. The web
+archives for the mailing lists are publicly available. Let's not feed the spam
+harvesters! Mailing lists are routine targets for spam software to come
+looking for valid email addresses, and if you include raw email addresses in
+your email replies you may well be inadvertantly and innocently unaware that
+you're actually helping such spam operations in doing so. People who use their
+web-browser and one or another of the free public email servers available...
+like hotmail, yahoo and so on...have to be particularly careful with this,
+and you may find that you have to manually delete raw email addresses from you
+replies to comply with this etiquette.
+</p>
+<h4>'PCYMTWLL'</h4>
+<p>
+<u>Please Configure Your Mailer To Wrap Long Lines</u>. Some email programs
+don't, and this is especially so when a web-browser interface is being used,
+and then most of the message ends up looking like one lo-ong line in the web
+archives. It's very annoying to have to scroll left and right as well as up
+and down. Please be considerate of this situation! All you have to do is
+remember to hit the return [enter] key at about 80 characters along each line,
+and start a new line. Your email text in an web-browser window, should appear
+as a column in the left of your web-browser window, not as a document that
+fills the entire window page. It makes it easier for everyone if you please
+comply with this etiquette when submitting emails to the lists.
+</p>
+<p>
+For those interested, the Jazz++ (and many other) developers often use such
+obscure and sometimes not very well known acronyms such as 'PCYMTNQREAIYR' or
+'PCYMTWLL' when exchanging email with other list members. Many of the most
+commonly used acronyms you will come across, can be viewed by visiting
