OK, I changed "quoted printable" to "Allow 8-bit." We'll see what
happens, see if I can put == (equals) and -- (dashes) in without it
being messed up.

Now, I would *assume* that K-Mail properly identifies when it's going to
use quoted printable. Might the mailing list software not understand
this? The messages from the mailing list software
say "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit" If the mailing list software
does not properly parse the quoted printable characters, and then
blindly sets the encoding to 8bit, might that point to a flaw in
Ecartis (I think that's it) and not in Kmail?
