I feel your pain. I also wanted to moan and b*tch about base 64 encoding 
amongst other things, but ...

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.

This is news to me. Hmmm interesting.

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.

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...
