Hello everyone. I am catching up on old FAQ maintainers e-mail. It's me
again, the Co-author of the beloved, revered and mostly plastic
Hosaphone(tm) FAQ.

If you are using a PPP connection, instead of messing with ASCII message
size limits of Eudora use Netscape's browser instead. It has a mail
function that if you tell it not to wrap lines has worked out rather well
with the FAQ-server.

I'm on a Mac...here is my process:

1) Edit the FAQ using BBedit which is kept as HTML.
2) Open the FAQ headers for this document (I keep it in another file).
2) Load the FAQ.html file into Netscape.
3) Do as SAVE (TEXT) of the file(i.e. FAQbody.ASCII)
4) Create new message in Netscape, copy/paste from BBedit the FAQ headers.
5) Open with BBedit the body FAQ (i.e. FAQbody.ASCII), copy/paste in the
new mail message below the FAQ headers.
6) With it addressed to the FAQ server (i.e. To) you are done.
7) send the message.

Hope this helps!
