Over the past month to 6 weeks, I've been seeing more and more
quoted printable MIME errors that ever. An upgrade the MS mail
server and the MS Outlook client has been shipped with this
as the default. It's creep--soon everyone will be using
graphical mail clients with faulty content separators and
Javascript turned on for their Mail and News.

Whatever happened to just plain/text?
