Would some one tell me what's going on with some of these replies to the Octave helpline? Most of them are fine, just plain text, but thesefrom <soren> all arrive looking like this, which I can't read. Can't people just write in plain text anymore? Or at least include that with the fancy style if they feel there's a real need for the latter. - Dushan Mitrovich
I've never had any problem reading Soren's mails. However, looking at the raw message text I do see what you are referring to. Looking at the headers, I think the following lines are the key:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 For comparison, your e-mail has this: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bitI think either your e-mail program is not capable of reading the encoding, or maybe it is not correctly configured.
