Sorry, still seeing '=3D20', but only at the end of the first line of text. Mark J.

Check what you have set for "Internet Format" and "International Options." What encoding are you using for outgoing messages? Have you tried changing to a different encoding? Or it could just be your Exchange server (or any other stop along the way) that is adding the =3D3D3D3D20 to your messages when an unknown character is = found =3D =3D3D in your message. Your header says:=3D3D3D20 >X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1165 >Content-Class: urn:content-classes:message >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Content-type: text/plain; charset=3D3D3D3Dus-ascii >Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Perhaps the =3D3D3D3D20 is the result of some funky behavior between = =3D3D us-ascii encoding and 2003. Is your email server formatting or retouching -so to speak- your email messages before forwarding them? Just a thought!
