The "=20" stuff is quoted-printable encoding. The encoding may be
occurring at any point from the user to LISTSERV and back again.
LISTSERV generally does not mess with the contents of a message.
However, you may want to check and see if any of the subscribers
seeing screwy messages are set to SHORTHDR, as this can remove some
lines from the header which would be required for email clients or
mail servers to recognize that the message is quoted-printable.
If you search the archives of LSTOWN-L for 'quoted-printable' you may
find more information on this type of problem. The archives are
accessable at http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa.exe?A0=lstown-l
Thanks,
