Hmm, I'm using the gmail web interface. Do you see the same problem with email sent by other people using the gmail web interface? (wondering if it's a setting or lab setting I can play with). Marcus. -- Marcus Furlong

TBH, I don't know. I see it from time to time without really registering it; this time I just happened to snap.

The "problem" post looked OK here, handled fine by mutt, with none of those whacko "=Ax" codes. Looking at the raw email was unrevealing, since it was "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" I've just assumed that all that "=Ax" gobbeldygook is raw M$, and therefore essentially incurable at source. At one stage, I had vim mappings to fix the three most common encryptions, but it is now so long since I last received any offending text.

That is standard QP encoding http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quoted-printable AFAIK nobody here is complaining about the use of QP or BASE64, that is just something that is required for non-ASCII characters. Like the non-breakable-space being discussed here. -- Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>
