Actually, the HTML generated by OL looks sane. > <P><A = > > HREF=3D"http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/current_release/?parentto= > pic=3DSystem%20Compatibility"><U><FONT COLOR=3D"#0000FF" SIZE=3D2 = > FACE=3D"Courier = > > New">http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/current_release/?parenttopic= > =3DSystem%20Compatibility</FONT></U></A> Each line here ends in "=". The message is qp encoded. The act of qp-decoding the message should join a line ending in = with the following line, removing the = character. (The = character at the end of a line in qp encoding works a lot like the \ character at the end of a sh script line.) So perhaps the best solution to view this stuff is to view the text/html variant, rather than the text/plain variant. Try v to see the attachments, then hit Return on the text/html one. If that invokes a text-mode browser like w3m or links or lynx, then you should be able to follow the link. Kai
