Which makes sense, because an ASCII "3D" character is an equals sign. The "20" is a space. So an "=20" will translate to an "=3D20", which translates to "=3D3D20", and so on. I see that Lisa's originating charset denotes 8-bit, but "standard" email is 7-bit. Perhaps it's a word wrap in the editor doing it?

Lisa, what are you using to compose your e-mail? If it's MS Wurd, it could be hosing it. Or one or more of the 4-5 programs that are translating your message before it gets to the list. Eeep!

Interesting...
Lisa's second message showed only "=20". But when included in Mark's reply, it showed "=3D20". Btw. the first Lisa's message now shows "=3D3D20" - keeps adding "3D".
