moin, moin, I've run into the following error in pine a few times recently: "[Error: Formatting error: Non-hexadecimal character in QP encoding]" Just now I got it on George's response about Navy pay. The other instances might've also been George's email on another list. Apparently this is because the message is quoted-printable, but the stuff we add with mailman doesn't get added as quoted-printable. Just kicked out the part that was causing the problem. Just thought others might've run into the problem. ciao, der.hans -- # https://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.TOLISGroup.com/ # If you're not learning, you're not living. - der.hans
