I feel your pain. I also wanted to moan and b*tch about base 64 encoding amongst other things, but ... >o When I attempt to reply to a submitter rather than to the list, my message >is usually bounced by Rules at the recipients MTA. It might help greatly if >LISTSERV added a proper "Sender:" header. Uh, I'm not understanding you? What is MTA? I only respond via web-page, not via my own e-mail client software like Outlook. Else, I just copy and paste the sender's address manually, a real PITA, but there is not really an alternative AFAIK. >o A "&&" digraph is always escaped incorrectly. This is news to me. Hmmm interesting. >o When I Reply and Quote a message submitted with base64 encoding, the quoted >text appears in unrendered base64. Sad! I copy the text in a web page, then go to the page where I can compose a message and paste text and then finish my composing work. There is a IBM-MAIN member which text I always copy and paste, because of base64 encoding. You also complained about him in the past. >o There's no option to compose using a monospaced font, making composing >tabular information such as code fragments needlessly difficult. I usually use a Notepad to compose text with monospaced font in Notepad, then I paste that text in the compose window on the IBM-MAIn webpage composing page. The same goes for text in my 3270 emulator. I agree all of above is a real PITA! But no complaining about that will help you or me or others.... Grrrrrrr... But I have a gut feeling it is about the poster own e-mail attributes to L-Soft which causes much grief to you and perhaps others too. I don't blame them too. Perhaps my OWN (and yours too) posting is causing trouble to them too...
