Tweets,

When posting to tweeters please don't include attachments which are
formatted files such as graphic's files or word documents. Many people
are receiving Tweeters in the digest mode and these attachments end up
being displayed as a bunch of ASCII characters. The sample below just
shows just 4 lines of the over 250 lines I deleted this morning before
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
archiving today's digest message on the Web.

Should you wish to share a formatted file you could advertise it on
Tweeters and ask interested parties to contact you directly for a copy.

I hope to update the FAQ to include these instructions.

Thanks for your help in keeping Tweeters running well,
