Dennis, if all else fails then that would be a very nice idea indeed, thanks! But I'm an engineer. Engineers try to fix things that are broken. They'd rather not pass the problem to somebody else <g> Hans -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE [mailto:owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE] Namens Dennis Boone Verzonden: woensdag, juni 2012 21:27 Aan: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Onderwerp: Re: [HECnet] Psilo status? Peter is correct: it really is encoded as Base64. Why is not clear; the Mime header says that it's text/plain, but in spite of that it sets transfer-encoding to base64. Maybe just a defective mail client. It says text/plain, but doesn't name the character set. Some mailers switch to base64 if the character set isn't ASCII, even if all of the characters that actually appear in the message would be legit ascii. Hans' blackberry may be set to latin1, given he's in .nl. Hans, if you want, I'll try to gin up a gateway that translates your messages and posts them to the list. Shame to see you leave the list over this kind of tomfoolery. De
