Hi Rich,=20
No, I turned of ms-turd. Now that it's "plain text", I think it cleaned up my messages. ?
I can't even hear myself think anymore.

Which makes sense, because an ASCII "3D" character is an equals sign.
The
"20" is a space. So an "=3D20" will translate to an "=3D3D20", which
translates
to "=3D3D3D20", 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 "=3D20".
But when included in Mark's reply, it showed "=3D3D20".
Btw. the first Lisa's message now shows "=3D3D3D20" - keeps adding "3D".
