I have finished revamping the ShadowRN FAQ. It has been divided into two
parts for easy handling and includes much new information. In just a
moment, I will be posting it. Please read over it and let me know what
it needs.

The schedule for posting the FAQ to the list will change soon, as well.
Part I will be posted every 10 days, just as it is now, part II will only
be posted monthly.

You could add something for `My postings lose their Subject: line':

If you just Reply to the mail (hence, sending to:
Discussion of the Fantasy game ShadowRun <SHADOWRN@*****.nic.SURFnet.nl>),
some mail programs get confused by a subsequent automatically generated
line that becomes longer than 80 characters. With the result that all
the mail header after that (in particular, the Subject: line), gets
ignored.

The workaround is to manually delete the "Discussion of the Fantasy game
ShadowRun <>" part, and just send to SHADOWRN@*****.nic.SURFnet.nl direct.
