> "ERROR: Formatting error: non-hexadeecimal character in QP encoding"

From what I can find via the net, this appears to usually be a PINE
problem... newer versions of Pine have fixed the QP MIME encoding bug
I gather.. and there are patches for older versions.

from:

"Allow errors in display of QP encoding

Versions of pine the patch is available for: pine 4.31
 http://www.math.washington.edu/~chappa/pine/info/qpfilter.html

This patch allows you to force Pine to display QP enconded
messages even if there is an error in the sender encoding by ignoring
the error. "
