As if Pink Floyd reforming for Live 8 (amazingly so, too - watch the video on AOLMusic.COM if you don't believe me) wasn't enough ... Yesterday marked a major landmark in the history of (313). I don't know what 313 list owner God is responsible for this 4th of July miracle (well ... 5th of July actually), but I'd like to thank him/her/them profusely. Yesterday morning at 5:26 AM PDT, this 313 Digest arrived: 313 Digest 5 Jul 2005 12:26:09 -0000 Issue 2648 It looked like any other, like the thousands of other (313) Digests that have preceded it, with this in the header: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii But sometime between 5:26 AM and 2:03 PM yesterday, someone flicked the magic switch, and the next Digest (and the 2 that have come in since) have magically become 313 Digest 5 Jul 2005 21:02:30 -0000 Issue 2649 Mime-Version: 1.0Content-Type: multipart/digest; boundary="=_isolar-16320-1120597404-0001-2"And now each message in the Digest comes with the Content-Type boundary string and something like the following: Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline; filename="313_77141.ezm" In other words ... (313) DIGESTS ARE FINALLY REAL HONEST-TO-GOODNESS DIGESTS Enough of the techno-mumble-jumble, Greg. What Does It All Mean, Mr. Natural? It means ... - No more raw quoted-printable text in Digests!

(Actually I think Ian got himself sorted already a few months' back :) ) Needless to say, I am happier than a (Pink Floyd) pig in sh!te ... Big ups to whomever is responsible for this changeover - it has made me a VERY happy (313) Digest reader :) Yay! - Greg
