Yes. Not to ira@rempt.xs4all.nl (as you did) though, but to
irina@rempt.xs4all.nl, or I'll have two identical messages in one
mailbox (ira is the list mailbox, irina my private one). Josh got it
right :-)

Exactly. I don't want you all to have to wait until I've converted
everything to HTML, and I don't want to have to rush it. At the
moment I'm HTMLing my own original, writing commentary and
illustrating it with scans of birds from a bird book.

No, I don't want to do that, because (a) it would be a ridiculously
long message, (b) it would be almost as much work as doing it
properly in HTML if I want it to be even marginally readable.

Those who can't read HTML or access the web at all can always ask me
for a text-only version (all the files converted to text, which is
easy with Lynx and all the pages will be Lynx-compatible, zipped up
and mailed to you).
