   Hello!

Hello.  Can you please fix your email client to send text messages as
plain text, without any fancy MIME encoding?  That makes it easier for
my semiautomated processing.  Thanks.

   It is not possible to exclude paths to files other than ones on the root
   (or start directory) - tar only allows to exlude files from the root
   directory level. 

Yes, that's true.  We have plans to fix this in the next version.
No schedule yet, though.
