Subject: Digest crashes my email software

Hi, wondering if someone could help me. Ocassionally my email program crashes
when I try to open the email message which contains the GZG Mailing List
Digest. Eudora, the program I use, just hung up and I got a "No Response"
error from Windows when I tried to open the message that's Digest #653. This
isn't the first time I've had this happen, and it only happens with the
digest! Any suggestions?

Propitiate Subdeity Jerry, Minor God of List Digests. His preferred sacrifice,
as I recall, is virgin, but I can't remember if it's daiquiris or pina
coladas?:):):)

I can only suggest running ScanDisk, or trying a different mail program.

Alternatively, use REBOL or your favourite scripting language to read the
file, and convert it to text.

It's also possible that the email is HTML of some weird type that requires a
special language to understand? That happened to me just a few hours ago.
