TMLers,
There has been a slight change to the digest format prepared by the
Traveller Mailing List message digestifier. Now, any line in the body
of a digested message which begins with a dash "-" character, has the
sequence dash-space "- " prepended. This practice makes it easier to
burst the digests correctly, because you can be assured that any line in
the digest beginning with "--" delimits two seperate messages in the
digest.
This practice was modeled on the behavior of the MH "forw -digest" and
"burst" programs. Bursters and other undigestifying programs should be
sure to strip the leading "- " from lines in the internal messages once
the messages are seperated out from the digest.
Thank Bob Suckling for this suggestion.
James
