I was thinking of at some point (after I get the uploading fixed)
requiring that DAT files be posted via the web interface only, and not
allow postings to .cad.dat.* via a newsreader or the e-mail gateway.
The reasons for this would be:

1)  Guarantee proper line lengths; no more line-wrapping issues.

2)  Make it possible to embed special codes in the article which make
    extraction of the .DAT content easier & faster & more foolproof.
    Would alleviate the need for a scanner/parser at fetch-time.  Perhaps
    these special codes would be some simple character sequence or perhaps
    it should simply use MIME.

Cause I don't really care for using the web interface.

Yea, fer sure.  The only reason would be to standardize/correct posting
