As of this issue, the Ferret Mailing List is going automatic.
at 2am every morning, a cron job will check to see if anything's
been received.  If so, the issue will be formatted and sent.
 
This means two things:
    - People wishing to send anonymous articles should NOT
      send their article to ferret-list.  They should send
      it to me ("clewis") instead, and I will check it
      for Id information.
    - People should take special care that their editor/mailer
      is doing sane things.  This issue had two articles with
      improperly setup linewrap (standard UNIX USENET software
      doesn't automatically wrap.  Which means that messages
      from FIDONET and other places can screw up).  Another
      was double-spaced.  I normally fix these things, but
      whilst automatic, this won't work.  Please make sure
      that your editor/mailer is wrapping properly.  Ie:
      hard carriage returns.  If you don't, some people will
      be unable to read your message.
