search and retrieve messages very conveniently at

Please do not send formatted attachments directly from your 
word processor to the list. The results are often difficult to read.
Also, please avoid sending file attachments with your message.
Before posting, please save your file as an ASCII (plain text) file 
and send it in the body of the message, not as an attachment. 
That way, the recipients are able to make an immediate judgment 
about the substance of your message and thereby avoid a lot of 
additional effort. 


With my best wishes for 1999
