Just a note here, if your e-mail server doesn't mind you using ftpmail,
it might be a good idea to learn how to use it. UUENCODE, or UUE does a
better job with some binary information than does linx [linx seems to
think that *.deb is a ASCII file, does anybody know how to change this so
I can send a comment to CCIL [a local linux server] on how to reconfig so
this doesn't continue to happen to me?].
Anybody who wants more information on ftpmail can send me a private
e-mail, or if you feel its appropriate I will post it on the debain-user
list.
