Re: [Nmh-workers] mhshow: invalid QUOTED-PRINTABLE encoding

[Paul Fox]

sigh.

i'm getting tired of mh.  i just had to hand-edit this draft
because my painstakingly constructed combination of reply command
shell script and draft editor that takes care of html content,
etc, and which works on almost all mail i regularly receive can't
handle your pgp multipart cruft.

i see you're using exmh.  i'm certainly glad mh is still useful
somewhere -- too bad the useful version had to end up being the
gui version.

well.  that end-of-day grumble aside...

are you really saying there's no way to present the data in a way
that's secure, when what we're talking about is final
presentation?

i really really wouldn't care if mh applied multiple hex
encodings with shrieking warnings to the several characters
surrounding the mis-encoded ones, if it would only show me the
_rest_ of the message intact.  i guess i'll go look at how hard
this might be.

p.s.  i'm curious -- does exmh have the "invalid
QUOTED-PRINTABLE" problem?
