non-text messages to the list

[Walter W. Giesbrecht]

Now this is interesting. The attached message was sent to web4lib
and libnetcat. The wbe4lib version consisted of 

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
*         ---REMAINDER OF MESSAGE TRUNCATED---            *

etc., but the libnetcat version included the *text* below, plus
the line at the bottom that states

"[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]"

Obviously, the list management software used by either list
treats the message content rather differently.

Dear Colleagues,

In January Academic Info added 448 entries to our growing
directory of Internet resources.

You can browse our What's New for January page at

so can take a minute to load over slower connections.

You can always view the current month's new entries at

Academic Info was mentioned in the Jan. 25 New York Times
Circuits section: see
