[RndTbl] Even Americans don't like ASCII anymore...

[Gilbert E. Detillieux]

It would appear that your attached images were embedded in the old 
"uuencode" format, rather than as a multi-part MIME-formatted message, 
which is what all modern mailers use.

In any case, if anyone else replies to the previous messages in this 
thread, please, please, please delete the freakin' encoded text before 
hitting Send!  As moderator, I don't want to be in the position of 
having to approve all of those replies for being larger than the limit size.
