NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to 
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3500
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to 
spare for next year. Please consider it.

Subject: Cold room - modifying A/C

I'm wondering if anyone has an elegant solution for bypassing the thermostat
on an a/c.

I'm looking to cool my beer and wine cellar to around 50 degrees and the
window unit I have doesn't want to cool below 60.

For now, I've pulled the a/c temperature probe out through the front and am
planning to insert it into a can with a small incandescent bulb to make it
think the room is warmer.

I'm hoping for a more refined solution for the long term.

Any thoughts, links, etc. are appreciated.

Thanks,

Joe Dunne

Subject: MIME. The final frontier

Greetings, Beerlings! Take me to your MIME encoded lager...

The final facet of modernizing the input stream of the HBD is now
implemented - MIME encoded messages will no longer be rejected. I've left a
"dual responder" in place, just as I had with the line length solution - I
will eliminate this after I'm convinced the filter is mature and not causing
problems.

Next time I have a few spare moments to string together, I will modernize
the subscription engine, and give yuo some choice in terms of how you
receive the beloved Digest. But, for the short term, I think I'm done coding
on this beast!
