Hi!  Just a general request here-- could people that send huge binaries
and sources and stuff PLEASE send a warning message!  
I tend to connect to an account via modem, and since the machine I use
is sort of a bare-minimum type (a Sun with no 'man'!) when a long message
comes I just have to wait the five minutes for it to scroll by.  For some
reason the machine won't interrupt until the end of a message, else it
disconnects me.  
  So please, as long as you are using up a lot of space, please waste a
seperate message warning us that the next message titled "source" is the
actual source and is pretty $^%&*-ing long.
               Thanks!
