That's odd, with the Elm I use the seam is so big I was compelled to disable the conversion. (It invokes metamail, which, not to put too fine a point on it, sucks rocks.) But regardless of the method of display, the message as stored in the mail folder is mangled, and that's what matters when trying to apply the patch. But anyway, it's clear that Zoltan is not to blame for this particular instance of MIME-manglement, and I wish I'd never started this thread. (I shall simply carry on being annoyed by the occasional message until I get around to writing a filter to interpret quoted-printable. metamail doesn't have the capability -- it drops the headers at least, and can do worse, and I hate to think what it would do with invalid quoting.) -zefram
