[net.micro.mac] recent postings to net.sources.mac were improperly packed

werner@ut-ngp.UUCP (04/01/86)

several recent postings to net.sources.mac contained several items of
interest simply concatenated.  this happened with both plain text files
and hqx-files.

This is a plea to ask people to either use PackIt or to post items in
seperate articles, and to not post sources (where each char can be important)
without Hexing first.

There are several reasons:  xbin will unhexify only the first Hqx-file and
ignore the rest.  When automating capturing and downloading postings to
net.sources.mac, non-hexed stuff gets ignored.  (and probably more; but
if you're not convinced yet .....)
