    I know that you are probably unaware if your email client - Outhouse,
    Thunderbyrd, whatever - uses Quoted-Printable encoding. Please take
    the time to find out, and to disable it, when you are sending a post
    to the Telecom Digest. *Please* don't send your posts from an email
    client that employs "Quoted-Printable" encoding!

    Please! Q-P emails have to be decoded by hand, and I'm typing and
    working and eating and doing everything else one-handed right now. I
    need your help to keep the Digest going!

    client tolerates QP input)

    Hello, I cannot find any information about this for Thunderbird, and I have done quite a bit of searching. Do my posts have the same issue? Perhaps someone more knowledgeable about the subject can chime in.

    The "email source" option (which is Cntl-u on Thunderbird) will show
    you the "Header" info of anything you send - after you send it, but
    it's better than nothing.

    Here's the applicable header from your email:

    Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

    ... so you're not sending "Quoted-Printable" encoding. Most email
    clients have an option to send "Plain Text" (or something similar)
    emails. Some allow you to speify the option in the Address Book, and
    make it automatic. In Thunderbird's address book, the option is
    "Prefers To Receive Emails Formatted As ...", and you can choose
    "Plain Text."

    Thanks for asking: I'll be happy to inform anyone who asks if thair
    email client is using Quoted-Printable encoding.

    (Since this is of general interest, I've changed the Subject and
    reset the threading info.)
