I think my email filters only support confindence :-) But to make this
clear, these are all suggestions which help me to process changes faster -
nothing that is cast in stone.

No problem, just write down the requirement in the email and the change
set's preamble.

Yes.

No, it is to convince all that too-helpful email tools that .cs files are
binaries. Otherwise, they convert tabs, line endings and so one,
reformatting the files and cause additional work.

Squeak is capable to do this :-) This is why I suggested .gz instead of .zip

Just a suggestion, I don't speak for the list. Perhaps larger files are
accepted, too...
