The latest main list displays, (on my Kmail) both myself and Syd's messages with the =20 on the turn overs, and now, on mine, 3D preceding it as well, (on some lines).

What should have been obvious to me in the first place, has just struck me, it may not be that the =20 is appearing in what is sent but only in what is being received by me, at least Syd doesn't seem to think he is sending them on his system. As we are both using Mandrake 8, does this seem likely?

I am about to attempt to install both Slackware 8 and Debian, use of these may solve my problem.

I'm still battling with BT (full story on request), and beginning to think that I've backed yet another lost cause, would I be better off just walking, (in my case wheeling), away or carrying on the fight? (rhetorical question)
