The discussed posting was in "PLAIN TEXT", but encoded "quoted printable", nothing in common with "HTML", "PDF", " PGP-signed". ....................................................... What do I want is that the idea of "not using quoted printable" should be expressed explicitly, for example: Hey guy, your question was in PLAIN TEXT, but in quoted printable encoding. I know you've got irrefragable answers already to your bloody "quoted printable" message. But if you do expect some favour from me in the form of my personal reply you shouldn't use quoted printable encoding at all, just 7bit encoding. I know also your Outlook 2002 does not expose the encoding choice as an option according to MSDN article Q278134. So tell your boss he should change his crappy corporate MS software environment, to older one, where you would have encoding choice to please me. ...........................................................
