It's a real > nuisance when trying to apply patches. No, quoted-printable is not necessary. The original mail used plain 8bit encoding. The mail server runs sendmail-8.7.3 which asks the destination machine wether it accepts 8bit mails and if it doesn't sendmail converts the 8bit message to quoted printable. But even quoted-printable should be handled by all MIME aware mail readers. So it seems that both the MTA and your mail reader needs some upgrade on your system. Zoltan
