"Not all listservers has these problems with Microsoft implementation or
whichever."

Then they are also based on microslop products.  Being of a cynical mind
and suspicious of microslop motivations, I suspect this is but one more
built in irritant by which to prompt people to use their products on
internet servers.  Make microslop character sets the default in net
software on personal computers and a listserv person can either inform each
person who complains about the binary numbers being inserted or use
microslop software and be done with it.
