Flor, I use OE 6, and am fairly familiar with its options menu tabs, including the Send tab. Reading your message below, I felt as if I'd never noticed this trio of radio buttons in that tab, and opened the menu to take another look. No, there wasn't anything of the sort among the options in the Send tab. Did I misunderstand your suggestions below?

Hi Jim, I normally use Outlook Express, but have Outlook XP on my computer as well. I was looking for anything to do with "quoted printable" in outlook, which is a radiobutton in a box of 3, in the Send settings of Outlook Express, which OE users should turn off for lists like this one; but couldn't find it in Outlook. One thing that might help is in the Mail Format Tab, Internet Format Settings. The default setting of Outlook (and most email programs) is ""wrap to 76". I was told once, that I should change this to 72, as some of my lines were not reading properly. It's possible that the list software is inserting these =20 characters etc. at ends of lines where it wants to wrap. (I don't know that this holds up, but is just a hypothesis on my part. Worth a try, if you haven't done it? We're talking here about old list software, more than likely.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "jim grimsby" <jimgrims@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, March 21, 2005 2:18 AM Subject: The equals problem! Hi, not sure why my messages have these symbols in them. I am using out look xp with everything set to plain text. If any one has any ideas why this is happening I would like to know. This is the only list where I am having this problem. It seems also that some people on the list find it annoying enough to generate at least four messages about it a week and one person claims that he finds my messages incomprehensible with them. So if some one can point me in the right direction to getting rid of them I would be grateful. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
