Shyan:

I suspect that you are outvoted on this issue. I, as well as others
appreciate the opportunity to buy and sell the occasional Leica item here.
If the volume of mail created by this activity is too great for you, you
can always try the unsub option.

Sending email to a list which is encoded is not good netiquet. Please
refrain from doing so. The variety of email programs that are available to
list members is quite quite extensive, and some are as simple as VT100.
Sending binary, or whatever your attached gibberish was is unnecessary and
annoying.
