    ml> 7bit ascii text and then posts it to the LS_ARRL echo... i offered    
    ml> to autopost it to one or two other echos but was told at that time    
    ml> that it was not really necessary because it was being done in    
    ml> LS_ARRL... now we see that it is also being manually posted to one    
    ml> of those other echos and that's fine... what my system posts is    
    ml> the original script complete with each of the breaks and station    
    ml> identifiers :)   
      
    RW> It arrives here in the same manner. I copy all of it out of my   
    RW> email and let my browser convert it to ASSCI text    
      
   it missed things... the (tm) is left as a capital 'T' and some other   
   characters are also goofed... this is one of the reasons why i went with my   
   conversion software that i wrote... i still have to update it at times when i   
   find another mime-64 character i don't have in the table ;)   
      
    RW> and then manually edit and delete those breaks and station IDs to    
    RW> make the damned thing easier read and much shorter.   
      
   it is a radio show script... i don't know if others read it to their users   
   during their broadcasts or not but it is a radio show script :)   
      
    RW> It's way too long in the first place.    
      
   that's why they have the breaks in there... at least one might run to the can   
   and 'fridge during the "commercials" :lol:   
      
    RW> It would be an easy thing to let IREX pick it up from my email    
    RW> account and do all of that conversion and posting, but then I'd    
    RW> have the same problem with the readablility of the document to   
    RW> my satisfaction.   
      
   ahhh... ok...
