The point of quoted-printable is that it's used for plain text, to just encode occasional special characters, such as soft line breaks, diacriticals, fancy quotes, etc. It's possible that an attachment is base64-encoded, but he's not asking about that, just about quoted printable. -- Barry Margolin, barmar@alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me *** *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group ***
