Well, I know that my emails were showing up with the "=3D20" at the end =20=
of each line and some other substitutions, and I was always =20
generating them from within Mail on OS X and sending 'em out thru =20
Earthlink's mail servers, but I did find a non-US setting set on my =20
Input Menu, probably forgotten from some long-ago tinkering. Since it =20=
was set to Italian Pro, the differences weren't noticeable (since =20
Italian uses the same alphabet).
I'll be interested to see how this mail shows up when I get the next =20
digest. :-)
