Yup, that was what i had in mind, using pine to both read and send my
mail to the
packet bbs network... So far it seems to work when i send to ham using
dos sw,
i still need to check the other way arround.... The mail's that i
convert from dos to
unix (whether it's iso or quoted...) doesn't come further than my own
local machine.
The main reason to why i wanted quoted-printable, was that pine
generated the
mails this way, so i thougth that this was the way to go..... But after
looking through
the configuration for pine, i saw a option for 8 bit esmpt negotiation,
and now it does
the 8 bit iso thing...
