diffs for aging of leases files

Gee, gang--

I certainly didn't mean to cause anybody a problem here...

...so I apologize for the FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) surrounding the
diffs.

I'm sitting behind three layers of firewalls and proxy servers, so it's
nearly impossible for me to FTP a file to another location, and no one
outside the company's intranet is permitted access using FTP to any server
inside, so-o-o, the only thing I can do is to e-mail stuff.

As I see it now, some people can easily handle plain text encodings as
attachments to mail messages, some cannot.  Don't know what I can do about
that, although I am open to suggestions [ polite ones, that is!  :') ]

In the future, I'll use a different "dot" extension (such as ".txt") to
avoid (if possible!) funny encodings.  As someone, maybe Brian, suggested,
the size of attached difference files should be limited to a "reasonable"
size -- yet to be determined.  Would gnuzip'ed or WinZip'ed attachments be
preferable?

...again, sorry to have caused any agita....
