RE: Sendmail 8.8 Autoconverting quoted-printable back to 8-bit on receipt This is good, right? One of my customers was upset because he noticed the `X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit' header in one of his messages. His argument was that MIME was becoming the industry standard and converting back to 8-bit was defeating MIME's purpose. Also, he wasn't getting the message exactly as it was sent (this is easily defeated, email is mashed and coverted all over the place on its way to the end server, even the sender's mailer is doing a conversion when it puts certain characters into the quoted printable sequence) What do I say to him? Should I turn this conversion off (and how?). I think it's a good thing, your mailer shouldn't have to handle those `=XX' sequences (or should it?). Please help! :) Regards, David K.
