Hi Bob, Babette, and All,
Note that some mail programs such as Outlook Express automatically
decode Subject lines entered in this manner and instead of seeing...
?iso-8859-1?b?UxmI9met-and-so-on... you'll see "Re:Get discounted
Vi*gra..." or whatever. You may not even realize that the Subject line
is encoded until you try to filter against 'Vi*gra' and it doesn't
work... and then you look at the message source and see this encoded
stuff.
George Lunt ..... so. cal.
