can anyone come up with a procmail/formail recipe that will automatically
detect these things & add such a header line? i tried this, but everything
ended up in /dev/null:
######
:0:
* =20
|formail -i "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable" >>testing
######
(besides this is too draconian because, for example, this whole thread
would have gotten the header)
thanks
