Subject: LUG via Mac's and Windows...PLEASE

	Hi LU's -

	I thought you'd like to know that if you are using
	a Mac or a PC running something like Windows, that
	you are using the equivalent of a Point+Shoot camera.
	When you press that <Return> on your keyboard you have
	no idea what you are sending! Unfortunately for some
	of us (e.g. UNIX users) who see all the junk your
	mailer sends, it makes your mail sometimes difficult
	to read.

	For example, we just read on that last Digest ...

> From: "hendrik.korthaus" <hendrik.korthaus@cww.de>
<snip> ...

>     ... swedish (j=E5g har arbeted i tyska f=F6rsamlingen Malm=F6 =
> for 2 monaden och prater svenska d=E5lig) or german (Nat=FCrlich :-) =
> ).

	If you want to send the latter, why not send: Natuerlich?
	That way anyone can easily read what you are trying to
	send. This was one (trivial) example, othertimes we see
	=20 at the end of each line. I find it amusing how Leica
	users who usually prize being in perfect control of their
	manual-everything camera, use computers like point+shoot
	cameras!

	Best wishes,

	-- Wolfgang
