Hello,

        I know that no one wants to hear about 'Netiquette anymore.
     But, being on the digest, this is a real issue for me. It's bad
     enough to have to read the quote of a quote of a quote on some-
     one's reply -- with 200 lines and nested three "> "s deep.   But,
     having to look at a MIME-encoded post to the list -- with all of
     the associated garbage text that comes with it -- with a GIF im-
     age attached as (I guess) a graphic signature is *more* than a
     little annoying.

        I would like to suggest that anybody who is doing so please
     stop so that I don't get a digest with some 40 lines of:
