Velocet is posting things it had not posted for five days.
So, one post of mine was composed *before* the PINE change
and posted by velocet today. That's why there is no problem
with that post.

Here are two examples of what goes on. the first example is
ok, when PINE was working properly:

That was example number 1. No problem. Now example number 2:

See? The 8-bit has not been coded-decoded properly in
this case. In the first case, it was. Look at the

have to do with Contents. That is where the problem lies.
QUOTED PRINTABLE should not be there and 8BIT should be
there.
