Non-printing chars are represented by ``='' followed by their ASCII code. I see it quite a lot in Netscape where the text includes the UK currency symbol, which appears as ``=A3''. As ``='' has a special meaning any ``='' in the text gets represented as ``=3D'', 0x3D is the ASCII value of ``=''. Netscape seems to have a problem with quoted-printable encoding. > Could someone please post a valid patch? > > Mike Grommet > Unix Systems Adminstrator > Internet Solutions, Inc. > mgrommet@insolwwb.net > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- Trust the computer industry to shorten Year 2000 to Y2K.
