Is this a request to not post uuencoded binaries to the digest or to Usenet?
(i.e. Usenet is routed to the digest). If it's the latter, I think perhaps
the digest needs to be moderated. I'm pretty sure the majority here would
rather see binaries posted from time to time. Of course, the best thing
to do would be to check long articles with perl to see if they are
uuencoded binaries and reject them if they are.
