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
