   It arrives here in the same manner. I copy all of it out of my email   
   and let my browser convert it to ASSCI text and then manually edit and   
   delete those breaks and station IDs to make the damned thing easier read   
   and much shorter. It's way too long in the first place. It would be an   
   easy thing to let IREX pick it up from my email account and do all of that   
   conversion and posting, but then I'd have the same problem with the   
   readablility of the document to my satisfaction.
