A couple of things about the administration of this list: Firstly I'd like to apologise to some users who recently tried to subscribe to the list. Some of the attempts failed, and it took me a long time to sort the problems out. I hope I've now caught up, and found out what to do in future. If anyone reading this is aware of anyone who would like to be subscribed but still isn't, please let me know. Secondly I hope to change the configuration of the list slightly in the next few days. This won't affect anyone who posts only in text and only in the 7-bit ASCII character set. It might make it easier for anyone posting characters in the range 128 to 255. If there are any problems, please let me know. Dave
