If you're not convinced, could you let me know what else you'd like to me to look into? I'm including my original message below. This time I edited and resent it as an 8bit encoded message. If this works the same sending to the Gnus mailing list as it did to myself, the attached message will look fine. Bug 1: If I press C-d on this message and view the attachment, the special characters "=3D" and "=EA" show up as their quoted-printable equivalents, even though the attachment looks fine as I compose the message, and the entire message looks correct. A variation on this would be why my original forwarded message looked wrong in the complete view, but OK given Kai's suggestion to use C-d. Bug 2: When viewing a quoted-printable encoded message, forward it with S o m. The message in the buffer includes a header line Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable but the actual data in the message has been decoded. When Gnus, Lotus Notes, mutt and probably other mailers (though not the mailing list archives) receive the message, they decode it for quoted-printable again, resulting in the error I had. If I manually edit the message in the *mail* buffer and change the =3D to =3D3D and the =EA to =3DEA, the message is encoded and received prop= erly. --=-=-= Content-Type: message/rfc822; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Return-path: To: carey@psyche.evansnet Subject: Forwarding quoted-printable encoded messages From: Carey Evans Date: 23 Jan 2000 18:27:15 +1300 Message-ID: <87wvp1e4ss.fsf@psyche.evansnet> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=3Diso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit I've found a problem in Gnus v5.8.3 (with XEmacs 21.1 p8) when forwarding messages (with S o m) that I've received with quoted-printable encoded equals sign characters. In particular, this was with a URL like the following: http://www.invalid/lookup?id=3DEA123456 That's "? i d equals E A ...". I'm forwarding this message at the bottom of this one, which should show the problem. When I receive this message, I see the character at 0xea, i.e. "=EA". --=-=-= -- Carey Evans http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/c.evans/ This message was composed from the finest electrons used by many of the world's greatest writers. --=-=-=--
