PROBLEM: Your document has been translated into quoted-printable.

Quoted-printable is a deliberately stupid solution to a nonexistent
problem as an attempt by Netscape and Microsoft to press out competing
e-mail programs.  Even in the unlikely case that there would be one or
two weird characters in your e-mail, that is no excuse for completely
messing up the rest of the e-mail as quoted printable does.

I find that I am constantly restoring quoted-printable messages to be able
to forward them, add them into a web page, etcetera.  The solution is not to
mess up the text in the first place.

SOLUTION 1: In Microsoft Express, there is a drop-down box in the middle of
the toolbars that allows you select to send plain text.  Ignore Microsoft
whining that this does not help them pursue monopolies; they have already been
convicted of that in federal court.

SOLUTION 2: In Netscape 6, go into "Edit / Preferences / Mail & Newsgroups
(click on the +, if any)", then select "Message Composition" and make sure
that quoted-printable is NOT selected.  Also select "Send Format" and make
sure messages are converted to plain text.

SOLUTION 3: In Netscape 4, go into "Edit / Preferences / Mail & Newsgroups
(click on the +, if any)", then select "Messages" and select that messages
with 8 bit characters are send "As is".  Also select "Formatting" and
select both to "use the plain text editor" and to "convert messages into
plain text".

SOLUTION 4: If your program is not on the list, contact me by phone.
