All postings to the Fish-Sci should be plain text. Do not attach any binary files. Do not use html, xml or any other mark-up language. Do not attach any macros.
This is purely a matter of courtesy to our fellow list subscribers. Exclusive use of plain text is desirable for two simple reasons. First, executable files can contain viruses. Plain text cannot. Second, transmission of binaries and mark-up language presumes all the recipients have software that can render those files. Fish-Sci is an international mailing list and we do not need to make any such assumptions to communicate about our science. Therefore, if you need to transmit a binary to another Fish-Sci subscriber, please make arrangements to do so off the list.
You can protect yourself from viruses by running a virus scanner that checks all incoming files. Good scanners will check and isolate infected binaries as you attempt to open them.
Thank you!
