I know this has been brought up before, but the problem persists.  Can
people on this list please TURN OFF any documents or signatures attached to
their e-mail messages that end up as pages and pages of "garbledigook"
(sp?) on the digest? (See excerpt below).  I know it requires some
discipline and "editing", but it saves time when scrolling through the
digest trying to find valuable information.

Another suggestion for the digest is to have an index at the beginning.
This was recently introduced on the Rollei list and is a great screening
feature (provided people use good descriptive Subject lines for their
messages).

Thanks,
Jan
