the content on the way (and it is not my mailserver). there are
changes from '=2D' to a '-'.
MIME data instead of regular text data which, of course, screws up gpg
sigs.
ezmlm-idx, which runs the MandrakeSecure lists, doesn't have this
peculiar behaviour. Todd Lyons and I tracked down sympa as the culprit
a few months ago, but I'm not sure what the reason for sympa doing it
was (it was a particular characteristic of an email). Something like a
space behind a triple dash or something.
Ah,thanks. Nice to know.
Anyways, one day sympa really needs to be retired, for things like this.
