Hello, 

Lately on several e-mails from the list, I've been seeing an error message
in my Pine mail program that says:
  [Error: Formatting error: Non-hexadecimal character in QP encoding]

More importantly, the message is *truncated* in the display.
Oddly enough, when I quote the message to reply, I see the full text.
The line in error appears to have an "=" at the end of line, which
looks like it was used to mark line wrapping. But Pine doesn't seem to
recognize this usage.

Here is an example line - first the quoted printable:
< while(-1 !=3D (opt =3D getopt(argc,argv,"-BcrRd:e:fhyp:t:s:u:xSHU:"))=
)
Then the rendered version:
< while(-1 != (opt = getopt(argc,argv,"-BcrRd:e:fhyp:t:s:u:xSHU:")))

In Pine, it decodes the line properly up to the parentheses before the
last '=', then gives that error. Clearly Pine expects a hex code, not a
NL/CR. Now was there a code there originally, but mailman stripped it out?
Or is Pine failing to recognize a legitimate code sequence?

Red Hat 9  with whatever Pine is default for that disty.
