David, Could you turn off your MUA's option for sending your email messages out as "quoted-printable"? Reading your posts has been difficult at best on an xterm where there is no MIME.
(see included text, below) It seems you're using mutt as an MUA - I think you should be able to configure it to send plain text. Thanks, deb Meanwhile, David T-G says: | | --0lgBsWZvwbEqroRZ | Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii | Content-Disposition: inline | Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable | | Janek, et al -- | | =2E..and then Janek Schleicher said... | %=20 | % David T-G wrote at Wed, 12 Jun 2002 19:42:46 +0200: | %=20 | =2E.. | % >=20 | % > In this limited context, yes.
