I also see characters like "=3D" , "=E9" only in the mails received from freelists . i did not face this problem with the mails from fatcity . this URL has got a explanation for this . //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/50.html so , what should i do to recognize these characters ? Naveen, i dont see any printable characters in ur mail.
