Dear List Members May I kindly ask you to stick to simple ASCII mails and avoid the use of HTML and/or attachments? I am inscribed in several lists and can manage the flow of e-mails only by using the digest mode. HTML gets nearly unreadable in digests, and attachments are simply a bulk of hex digits. In recent time, the amount of such mails has increased, making it more and more hard to find those tiny little ASCII mails that I can (and want to) read. You might get an idea what these mails look like in digest form if going to the archives. I post two links here that may serve as an example: Sarah: http://www.auditory.org/postings/2004/298.html Barbara: http://www.auditory.org/postings/2004/302.html There are many other examples like this one. The first part is readable, but then comes long and bulky code, twenty times as long as the ASCII mail. Now imagine this all attached together like we get it if opting for digest mode. It is very hard to find the ASCII parts between those long and unreadable code sections. Thank you for your consideration, Best regards, Christian -- Dr. Christian Kaernbach Institut fuer Allgemeine Psychologie Universitaet Leipzig Seeburgstr. 14-20 04 103 Leipzig Germany www.kaernbach.de
