I know that you are probably unaware if your email client - Outhouse,

the time to find out, and to disable it, when you are sending a post

client that employs "Quoted-Printable" encoding!
Please! Q-P emails have to be decoded by hand, and I'm typing and
working and eating and doing everything else one-handed right now. I
need your help to keep the Digest going!

Hello, I cannot find any information about this for Thunderbird, and I have done quite a bit of searching. Do my posts have the same issue? Perhaps someone more knowledgeable about the subject can chime in.
The "email source" option (which is Cntl-u on Thunderbird) will show
you the "Header" info of anything you send - after you send it, but
it's better than nothing.
Here's the applicable header from your email:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
... so you're not sending "Quoted-Printable" encoding. Most email
clients have an option to send "Plain Text" (or something similar)
emails. Some allow you to speify the option in the Address Book, and
make it automatic. In Thunderbird's address book, the option is
"Prefers To Receive Emails Formatted As ...", and you can choose
"Plain Text."
Thanks for asking: I'll be happy to inform anyone who asks if thair
email client is using Quoted-Printable encoding.
(Since this is of general interest, I've changed the Subject and
reset the threading info.)
