"The equals twenties are caused by the listserv software's inadequate
handling of carriage returns."
No,, the problem lies with microslop who insists on violating the standards
for using ascii code in internet exchanges. When the listserv sees this
nonstandard character it substitutes a binary code in it's place. One also
sees this for example when a microslop product uses cute graphical
quotation marks in place of the standard ascii quotation marks, it then
forces a substitution of two different binary number codes in their place.
It is my understanding, not using the products myself, that there are
settings in the microslop products that solve this problem by asking that
text sent over the net use standard ascii codes properly.
