TRANS-L is not a FRECP11 based list server, and BITNIC's claim that users can subscribe themselves is somewhat shallow in that the mechanism still has many bugs. I do agree however that no new list is needed if one already exists. Does TRANS-L also cover formats involving systems to include files inside mail, methods of enveloping binary file in character only environments, and methods of specifying inter-system file image reformatting? These are features my ideas will include, and TRANS-L seems to be narrowing than this. Still, if people think it should go there, then let's put it there.
