=20 would be the MIME escape sequence for representing a space character if you needed to escape the space character. Why every single space would be escaped in this way beats me, and I don't understand why, if the message was properly marked as being MIME encoded, the =20 sequences wouldn't be turned back into spaces at the other end. It certainly does slow down listening to those of Nick's messages that are riddled with "equals twenty" sequences. Regards, Jerry "David Arocho" <darocho@earthlink.

Those who use these editors are not aware of the symbols tagged on. Perhaps it uses a different character set. It is not too difficult to ignore. In JAWS you can program your dictionary to speak a space character for that sequence; you probably can do the same with Window Eyes, but I don't use that, so I am not sure.
