RE: A83: A change...
Wrong. Programs and lists are stored with one byte specifying the name length,
then the actual name. And if you don't realize it yourself, your message
contained 4 lines with the actual text and 22 lines of messy signatures, pgp
and others. C'mon... you don't need PGP on this list... and you certainly
don't have to provide URLs to 7 different pages on the same bloody site! Which
noone here will visit anyway!
