Just something I've been getting a lot here. To all of you who
keeps posting ASCII-art encoded:
- Do you really need to encode ASCII-art? It should be encoded when
it contains escape codes or nonstandard ASCII characters or when you're
posting large files that gain a lot being compressed, otherwise ...
- And if you really need to encode it would it be possible to
uuencode it instead of mime? It's kind of more standard on the newsgroups
world.
The thing is, I can't, as many others, see encoded files online,
first have to save them, then decode, then see. And this system at school is
so louzy don't even have mime tools!! :((
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
