I recently got an interesting "opinion" / "editorial" message 

(maybe "partly" technical, too) about this, via e-mail 

from freesoftwaremagazine.com ;

I decided not to  "Forward" it to this list, and not only because I wanted 

to avoid risking maybe running afoul of some copyright rules 

(or even, maybe just netiquette rules) that I might not be 100% up on.

But, 

(as long as there is a perfectly good copy of it out there on their web site), 

(see the hyper link below), 

another reason not to forward that e-mail message, 

is the fact there are some of the little sections (which I mostly skipped!) 

that are delimited by little "=delimiter=" markers, like this: 

[...body...]

(where "<title>" could be, e.g., "Free Software Magazine is now on Twitter!" 

and [...body...] 'represents' the "content", that is, the body of the TEXTBOX), 

and ** most of ** those little sections (100% I think) 

DID NOT get handled right, by some robot that was [apaprently] "trying" 

to convert some kind of "markup" stuff, into a valid html e-mail message.

I do not know if the misbehaving robot was at the "sending" end, or 

at the "receiving" end [which for me is gmail]; 

or somewhere in between 

[which for me includes acm.org, which uses postini.com for filtering]; 

so -- anyway -- here is, "instead!", a link to it: 

enjoy...
