Apparently not everyone who uses kmail has the problem. Maybe it's the people who use html mail? Neil Bothwick's posts often have the "==20", but usually just one or two. Some posts are positively riddled with them, to the point of being terribly difficult to parse. Everytime I look at the headers of such a post it says kmail, but not every kmail user has the problem. It's also possible the nix-to-news gateway handles html poorly. Obviously, slrn is not supposed to handle html (which is how I like it). Overall the usenet experience of this list is poor, but of course the content is extremely useful. I just don't want all the email, because it'll end up on my phone and it'll cost me. Probably in the end I'll just end up reading it in a web browser. Lowest Common Denominator these days I guess... **sigh** -- ...she kept arranging and rearranging the rabbit and kind of waving to it. I decided, "this is the person I want to sit next to".
