By the way, you should try to write messages to SeqFan in plain text 
(your formatting is much too small for my eyes). And do not add 
attachments.

Me:

I agree completely!

Another thing:  please do not use subject lines
like this:

Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Re:_R=E9p._:_Re:_numerator_of_function_is_prime?=

let me put spaces between the
letters so you can see it the way i see it:

S u b j e c t :   = ? I S O - 8 8 5 9 - 1 ? Q ? R e : _ R = E 9 p . _ : _ R e : _ n u m e r a t o r _ o f _ f u n c t i o n _ i s _ p r i m e ? = 

This looks exactly like junk mail to me.

Look, here are some typical messages coming in:

>N960 <hahaj at rogers.com>  Mon Feb 16 17:23  90/4966  =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Re:_R=E9p._

 N964 <johnsealsba at ccmm.  Mon Feb 16 18:07  49/2598  turn your Spud into a stud

Message 960 carries your subject line! It looks like junk mail.

I have asked you this before !

Thanks
