First you should learn how to configure your mailer to not send odd 15
lines of 'disclaimer', which claim that the message is confidential,
then you should turn off HTML mailing, making the message become at most
4k instead of the 14kb of gibberish duplicate stuff you are sending to
quite a number of people who are really satisfied with the 2,5 lines you
actually are writing yourself. 


After that you should realize that your handle is MB4450-RIPE, thus
without the first dash:

source:       RIPE

What you have to do is, go to: http://www.ripe.net/db/
and take a look around at their excellent new shiny website.
On that page is a very obvious "Updating the RIPE Whois Database"
header, with very clear webbased update procedures.

Because yours does not contain a maintainer, which is one of the things
you might want to add after you updated it (maintainers can now be
created by anyone btw ;) You can expect that some one else adds a
"sends HTML mail" as a remark, when you forget it, updating is just a
few clicks away (and logged by the NCC which IP changes what and maybe
some other metrics I hope :) )

Greets,
 Jeroen
