RE: About oracle-l: some odd combinations of characters

Lisa,

Have you checked on your Outlook what settings you have for Tools>Options>Mail Format? Check what you have set for "Internet Format" and "International Options." What encoding are you using for outgoing messages? Have you tried changing to a different encoding? Or it could just be your Exchange server (or any other stop along the way) that is adding the =3D20 to your messages when an unknown character is found in your message.

Your header says:=20

>X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1165
>Content-Class: urn:content-classes:message
>MIME-Version: 1.0
>Content-type: text/plain; charset=3Dus-ascii
>Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Perhaps the =3D20 is the result of some funky behavior between us-ascii encoding and 2003. Is your email server formatting or retouching -so to speak- your email messages before forwarding them? Just a thought!

Well, well, well. Troublemaker strikes again.

I am using Outlook 2002 on an XP laptop, I'm 99% sure our exchange server is running 2003. =3D20

Honestly everyone! The extra characters don't bother me. It's a small price to pay just to have this list available. Jeez, it's FREE.=3D20

Have a great weekend, everyone.
Lisa

I don't use Outlook and I see it (=3D3D20) in mails from Lisa Koivu = only.
Maybe she use new Outlook 2003?
