Thanks ever so, Deri!  I'm sorry to say that mime settings are still  
Greek
to me but am I correct in understanding you to say that the fault was  
in the way
each subscriber has his or her listserv settings configured?

I use Apple's Os X Mail app but am using the plain text setting, not the
rich text format as I like my emails plain. ;)  I remember all the  
problems
we had a couple of years ago when someone on this list used a Windows  
email
software that was all graphics and it created a mess.  I don't want  
to make
things difficult for anyone so let me know if my emails still look  
wonky.

I suppose this all means I should stop checking my home emails at  
work and
replying to them via the web!

P.S. Deri, I did have a Linux box  -- well a Linux installation on a  
Pentium III
machine -- but I got a Mac Mini last summer and have used it ever  
since.  And hey,
Os X is built on Unix, so I'm not entirely Unix-free! ;)

Done a little furtling (not yet illegal in the UK!!).

Two things I have noticed:-

This happens only when Kat uses some WebMail interface (not if she  
sends from
her Apple (hey what happened to your Linux box!!)).

Even when Kat's mails contain thing like '=2E' my mail reader handles it
correctly (I can only see they are there if I look at the "raw" email).

The reason my mail reader converts these correctly is because there  
is a Mime
Header saying the email is "quoted-printable", so logic determines that
either your mail reader doesn't understand the Mime Headers (but  
Thunderbird
1.5 (your mail reader) definitely does), or the List Server is  
stripping out
these mime headers when forwarding the message to you.

Quick shufti at your list settings.....

Ah, yes, your "Mail Header Style" is set to " [Special or obsolete  
header
style]"!!! I've just changed it to "Normal LISTSERV-style header" let  
me know
if it fixes it.

Cheers
