> Say, the MIME thingy; yeah, let's decide that MIMEs are
type M. Fine. What then? No client in teh whole universe
supports such a filetype. And even if they did support it, why
would I use it? I can serve out menus with type 1, text with
type 0, html (which is stupid) with type h etc etc. There
absolutely *no* need for sending out MIME, ever. Well... except
for mailing list messages. But even then Jacob's neat mbox
script works way better.<br>

Use caps.txt.<br>

I'd use your list and give PDF's (and mboxes) their own filetype.<br>

Server owner's personal choice, I'd say.<br>

And now for something completely different:<br>
<br>
Does anybody know of a way to access NNTP/UUTP without using a
server<br>
(my ISP doesn't have one)?<br>
