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.                      R\%/itt                      ...
