RE: [omc-boats] gobbledegook

Will all this result in us being able to send photos to the list, or is
it just to clean up for the digest people?

Things everyone needs to take care to do:

1. Send "plain text" messages if at all possible.

2. When you reply, edit down the quotation of the old message to the
minimum.

3. Don't send photos.

I have picked up a new server, and am making slow progress in getting
it set up, at which point I'll migrate the list to use it, and more
modern list management software (mailman). I'm not super fond of
mailman, but it's well maintained and MIME aware, so I have some hope
it will mitigate some of the issues digest subscribers currently
see...
