[M-dev]Do NOT include entire digest in reply!

[Timothy C. <tco...@ha...>]

Greetings.
I would like to make a small public service announcement in regards 
to replies.  The digest I got this morning was 18 pages long.  9 1/2 
pages of that was the previous digest, quoted by one member of the 
mailing list.  That's over 50%!  This list is generally much better 
about it than some other lists I am and have been on, but it's still 
something to pay attention to.  PLEASE, people, for the sake of our 
hard drives, our eyes, and especially for the sake of the game we all 
love, take the few extra seconds it takes to delete the unnecessary 
parts of the email you are quoting.  It doesn't take long, and it's 
simple common courtesy.
	Another issue is attachments.  If I'm the only one who has 
this problem, then I'm willing to deal with it, but I do want to 
point out that every time someone sends an attachment to the list, 
what I get is not an attached file, but a spew of hexadecimal 
-recently I got a digest nearly 100k in size because of some large 
attachment.  I've tried copying it out and putting it into Stuffit 
and other programs, to no avail.  Is there a better way, provided by 
Sourceforge perhaps, to deal with attachments?  If so, please take 
advantage of it.  Thank you very much.
