#
#I have just recovered #60 from one of the BITNET servers, and I found out
#why, in that case and probably more generally, the file was truncated in the
#initial version sent to me. The problem was due to a lone period (.) at
#the beginning of a line!! Some USENET (i.e., UNIX) mailers use exactly
#*that* representation to terminate a message.
#
#Is it possible to filter out such lines or precede them with "\" as do some
#other digests, before sending the digest out over the netwaves?
#
#Thanks in advance,
#
# Ralph P. Sobek
#
#p.s. For contributors, would you please desist in putting such lines (".")
#into your communications.
