TML Digests are now sorted

TML message #1778From bundle 147

TMLers:

Well, after much testing (I figured out how to test the digester
successfully, which should help avoid things like last night), the TML
digests are now sorted as I talked about in previous messages.  The
recipe is this:

	beginning of digest: messages smaller than 6K bytes
	middle of digest:    messages larger than 6K bytes
	end of digest:       vehicle designs, regardless of message size

Notice that long (non-vehicle design) messages are kept in the middle of
the digest -- this keeps all the snappy dialogue at the front.

A vehicle design is any message which contains 10 or more of the
following strings, ignoring case, with * a wildcard that matches any
number of arbitrary characters (in other words, this very message should
qualify as a vehicle design, as would one that listed craftid 10 times):

craftid:  Disp*=    power:    Loco*:    Sensor*:  Def*:     Crew=
hull:     Config*=  Dur*=     Comm*:    Off*:     Control:  Accom*:

TMLers, Let me know if this is a boon or a bust to you.

James
