Looking more at these include files in my groups definition.  If I open
them in the OS immediately after they're generated, it looks as expected.
Something like:

#
# Generated by WriteFile-GetDomainIPSFromSPF.pl
#
198.2.128.0/24 FROMSPF: spf.mandrillapp.com
198.2.132.0/22 FROMSPF: spf.mandrillapp.com
198.2.136.0/23 FROMSPF: spf.mandrillapp.com
198.2.145.0/24 FROMSPF: spf.mandrillapp.com

Once ASSP loads them though, it goes into some kind of encoded/encrypted
format, a single long line, all hexidecimal like:
2acc4d3156084a1a3edc250c1f32bc5........ (continues)

*Is this normal behavior?*  I haven't found any mention of it in the GUI.
I'm not using configuration sharing.  The other config files don't seem to
have this hexidecimal conversion, only the ones I generate with my script.

I can edit the included files from the Groups section, by clicking the
various "Edit included file <path>" button.  It looks normal, not hex
encoded.

Note: the bottom of the editor window says: "First line specifies text that
appears in the subject of report message. The remaining lines are the
report message body."   I'm guessing that's just an oversight.
