Outlook inserting '=' with word wrap inot plain text email list.

Hi,

Regardless of what I do with options or word wrap length, a private email
list appears to complain about the word wrap locations and inserts '=' or
'=20' inot my email messages. For an example I've cut and pasted a piece of
the original message and the same piece as sent out from the mail list.

People on the list not using Outlook do not have this problem. A couple
using Outlook Express also don't have this problem.

It wasn't always this way but showed up after a service pack although I
don't specifically remember when.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

John Dammeyer

I've run into a problem fastening down the carriage ways on my Lathe. Turns
out there's enough slop even with the counter sunk flathead screws to allow
the ways to shift resulting in an out of square cross slide and subsequent
concave or convex faceplates.

Actually, "=20" _is_ in your messages, once Outlook formats them for
sending. Outlook uses quoted-printable content-type encoding to send plain
text messages and that =20 string is a "soft break", meaning mail clients
that recognize quoted-printable encoding will unwrap long lines that contain
those soft breaks in order to present the opriginal long line as you typed
it. Apparently the mailing list software is not MIME-aware and does not
handle quoted-printable encoding. I've never been able to tell Outlook NOT
to use quoted-printable encoding.
