Why is there so much computer gobbledygook interlaced within the MUSEUM-L
posts?  Is there something wrong with the listserv?  I find it very hard to
read the posts with so many repeated words, >'s, <'s, </html>
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=, and such.  Most of them contain the statement "This is a
multi-part message in MIME format."  What the heck does that mean?

There are times I don't read MUSEUM-L because of all the cyber-trash mixed
in.  Is anyone else having this problem?  Is there something that can be
done to eliminate or minimize that?  I'm no computer nerd, but I have been
using email and the internet for about 10 years.  It seems to me that
something ought to be done to get rid of all that stuff.
