This kind of       software misbehaving is new to me. Codepage translation might seem to be the       case -- not in the first instance, however.              Do you happen to use any third-party apps for message quoting (which I       remember you did in the past)?              >Original:       ============       From: Gleb Hlebov - All <0@6.221.2>       To: All       Subject: test       [...]       X-SMAPI-Control: @CHRS: LATIN-1 2       > ^^^^^^^^^       MIME-Version: 1.0       Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=fixed       Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit              Hello,       just testing the area.       I don't see the messages posted from my fidonet AKA       in some recent days .       ============              >Reply:       ============       From: Alexander Koryagin - Gleb Hlebov <0@6.221.2>       To: Gleb Hlebov       Subject: test       [...]       X-SMAPI-Control: @CHRS: LATIN-1 2       > ^^^^^^^^^       MIME-Version: 1.0       Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=fixed       Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit               GA> Hello,        GA> just testing the area.        GA> I don't se the messages poosted from my fidonet AKA        GA> in some recent days .              I see you.       ============              >Original (quoted):       ============       From: Gleb Hlebov - Alexander Koryagin <0@1.221.2>       To: Alexander Koryagin       Subject: Funny story about Russians       [...]       X-SMAPI-Control: @CHRS: CP437 2       > ^^^^^^^       MIME-Version: 1.0       Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=fixed       Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit              > A Russian man (muzhik) thought out what to do to preserve his tomatoes,       > he grew at his dacha, from thieves.              "Russian datchnik contrived how to protect his tomatoes from theft"              > And he wrote on his fence this announcement:              "He posted the following announcement on his fence:"       ============              >Reply:       ===========       From: Alexander Koryagin - Gleb Hlebov <0@6.221.2>       To: Gleb Hlebov       Subject: Funny story about Russians       [...]       X-SMAPI-Control: @CHRS: LATIN-1 2       > ^^^^^^^^^       MIME-Version: 1.0       Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=fixed       Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit               ak>> A Russianman (muzhik) thoought out what to do to preserve his        ak>> tomatoes,he grew at his ddacha, from thievs..               GH> "Russian dtchnik contrivedd how to protect his tomatoes from theft"               ak>> And he wrte on his fence this announcement:        GH> "He postedthe following annnouncement on his fence: "              Well, but IMHO people write words on the fences, not post them. ;-)       ============              --- GoldED+/W64-MSVC 1.1.5        * Origin: Type |
