The problem is that 'quoted printable' thing again; an '=' got converted to '=3D'. Upon removing the 3D, it prints: Just another Perl hacker Yes, it arrived unchanged here so I don't know what happened on its way to you.
Have a look at where his mail is coming from, then look at the machines it is passing through on the way, then you will see it is probably an email server somewhere doing stupid conversions.

Incidentally, my $.02 on the write-only language bit; this is how I'd write the above, and I think many people would agree this bit o' Perl is a clear, well structured and elegant solution to the problem: perl -e 'print "Just another Perl hacker\n"' Of course I agree with you - but as Peter Snow would say ...
how about echo "Just another Perl hacker" or 10 print "Just another Perl hacker or #include<stdio.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { printf("Just another Perl hacker\n"); return 0; } or import java.*; class hello_hacker { public static main(String args[]) { System.out.println("Just another Perl hacker"); } } OK I know I'm sad, I'll go play with Tux in a corner Thanks D
