Is there less of a player pool now?

Incidentally if a file arrives embedded in the mail as hundreds of lines of code, you can still play it by highlighting the lot and saving it as a txt. file to your pbem folder and then play it in the usual way, the procedure only takes a few mouse clicks.
But zips are slightly faster of course, so tell your oppo to zip 'em from now on if you need to..:)
