guys.....  i'm getting more & more extrainious characters in emails i get
from this list.  it duznt happen with anyone else.  all kinds of weird stuff
like =20 & =93 etc., etc.....  i'm visually empaired & i use a screen
reader. (my computer reads 2 me alloud.)  so it gets very confusing, hearing
stuff like, hello=20 I=59 would just like=98 to say=20 that i haven't=10
put=93 2=77 & =55 2 =19 together=20!

reading it visually may allow u 2 quickly skip over all the meaningless
stuff but wen yor listening 2 the text, it get very confusing.

Anybody no wat 2 do about this?
