Can I support Dominik in a request for a different = extension. I find that
when files are sent to me I would be able to classify = them as TeX or LaTeX
and store accordingly. I know that I simply have to = open the file and look
at the first few lines but my mailer splits large = files into parts and the
first one I see need not be the first part of the = file.
