Steve, when you turn on Base64 encoding, this is what all your posts look like for those people who do not use Outlook and other email readers that don't automatically decode incoming messages:

This means it will not try to decode incoming email, which could contain harmful viruses or links to trojans. It will not respond to HTML tags, such as embedded IFRAME links. It will not try to display viruses embedded in GIF files. You can always tell this when the header starts with "MZ" instead of "GIF". Pimmy does not try to automatically activate the Acrobat pdf reader. First of all, I do not use Acrobat. It has many known vulnerabilities that allow viruses to take over your computer. Second, I am always suspicious of any attachment I get from anyone, since the sender and email address could easily be forged. If your software does all these things, you are at risk for unwanted viruses to take over your computer, wipe out your bank account and credit card resources, infect all the friends in your address book, and turn your computer into a botnet. Bad idea. I can decode your posts, but it takes a lot of effort. So to prevent this from happening, please turn off the Base64 encoding, and also the HTML. HTML is not needed in a plain ascii forum like the silverlist. If you look at the front page for the silverlist, Mike D. recommends turning the HTML off. This is a very good idea. I tried removing the html from a typical digest. The original filesize was 60kB, and after the html was removed, the file shrank to 22kB. So the HTML increases the size by a factor of three, and adds nothing to the information in the post. I don't have time to decode all your messages, so could you please send them to me offline with the Base64 and HTML turned off?
