    This file has the first 3 characters that are NOT normal text.

    They are in fact (in hex) : ef bb bf

    The first 16 chars are (in Hex and display form) :

    00000000 ef bb bf 53 55 42 4a 20 4d 4f 44 2d 55 50 44 0d |...SUBJ MOD-UPD.|

    The dots give the clue but the hex chars ef bb bf are not A- Z, a - z, 0 - 9 and space etc.

    Only use a text editor and not a word processor type editor.

    Since your on linux it should be easy to filter them out in your scripts:

    If I remember correctly it happend to a part of the z2 nodelist in the past. So I've seen it before.

    For people sending in messages containing these codes it might be as simple as to configuring a different character encoding in their editor (so not use utf-8).

    Bye, Wilfred.
