I disagree about using TEX, eqn or whatever.  When I read news, I typically
do it on a VT100 type terminal (actually an emulation window).  Although I
print some news, most I just read via readnews and then move on.  While it
would be nice to include instructions on how to generate high quality
equations, for general purpose reading it might be easier to just fudge
it:
            n
           --- 
            \       -1/n
            /   a e      + 6
           ---
           i=5

is not that unreadable.  I agree that the really complicated expressions
can't be shown like this, but most equations we write could be.  Using the
gobbledygook of eqn, TEX or whatever, means that I have to save the file,
edit and massage it, format it and print it to screen or paper.
