What I would like to see, is an available FILES web location, where people 
could put their "please ID this" pictures, and other worthwhile files.
But, links, NOT content, sent out in the email!
If there is enough cheap space, maybe even stuff like the GWBASIC stuff.
Q: is the original Microsoft BASIC paper tape released from copyright, 
yet?


Once the plain text rule is lifted, we are likely to also no longer get 
ANY trimming of messages, and every post will include everything that ever 
came before.  All the way back to THIS.
