Hi Folks.
 
I rec'd a plea from a subscriber to HWY61-L digest, and just frankly
don't have a clue as to what happened to this person's digest. No one
else had a problem, and my own came through fine as well. Marty's
however, really was cut off suddenly.
 
What intrigues me here is the mention of filtering control characters.
May I say, in an academic setting, *duh*?
 
Enclosed is his note to me, followed by the post where his digest was
interrupted. I've looked through my own copy of the digest, and cannot
find anything unusual at all in the message that was so rudely interrupted.
Any ideas on what might've happened? (I can see that there may have been a
tab here, but is that "officially" a control character?)
 
All input vastly appreciated!
 
Maureen

This is where Marty's HWY61-L digest quits, and here's what follows of
the interrupted post.
