I would like to follow-up on the following question and answer: In a message dated 4/26/2006 9:10:54 PM Eastern Standard Time, Gra8teach@aol.com writes: I am on AOL and so many messages come to me with =20. I thought the listowners were supposed to send in plain text. Is there anything I can do about it? Carol Carol- It isn't the lists that add the =20 and other codes to the emails. They are in plain text. AOL's email program adds this in some cases. The =20 marks line breaks that shouldn't show but sometimes they do and I know of no way to avoid them as long as you are using AOL's email program. Joan ========================================= I think that this us unacceptable. This is a big problem. However, I've noticed that people who have their CHAR SET=US-ASCII seem to be coming though OK while people with CHAR SET=ISO-8559-1 seem to have the extra characters added. How can I get AOL to use the correct character set?
