Would you PLEASE, PLEASE turn this imbecilic MIME stuff off!  Your
posting is 346 lines long, but its content is a mere 51 lines.  It has a
signal to noise ratio of around 5% (if you're lucky).  Do you realise
what an idiot this makes you look?

Your posting is chock full of spam.  The following content-free fragment
appears around 30 times:

Do you really think this interests anybody, even if it only appeared
once?  How about taking responsibility for the tools you use and setting
them up properly?  (Hint: Microsoft programs are suboptimal for composing
articles for mailing lists.)

Your, in exasperation,
