etc.

Please adjust your mailer so that it posts (to mailing lists at least) in
pure ASCII text.

Ewen,

I suggested before that the list exploder should look at MIME headers,
and if necessary reject postinsg that contain anything other than plain
ASCII.  If you don't do something about this soon, the list will get
increasingly unusable --- we had the same problem with the MWAVE-L about
five years ago as hordes of people using Outhouse Excess started posting
HTML or binary-encoded files, sometimes of huge sizes, to the list.
