Interestingly enough, and probably a very obscure comment, but I enjoy
immensely, the fact that part of my new 'ID' is showing up in the 'From'
line as the
prefix: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Se=F1or Scott Mosher <ninja@mindspring.com> . What
the hell is '=?iso-8859-1?Q?Se=F1' ? OR Scott Mosher? Damn, have I been
relegated
to the back of the bus, gus, or what? Anyhow, the name SHOULD read as
follows: "Seqor Scott Mosher". I guess those special characters are not
appreciated by
the digest infrastructure, but since I've been getting so many requests and
comments on what "=?iso-8859-1?Q?Se=F1" translates out to in modern english,
I
just had to respond.

i think that you sending mail in character set other than the standart
english.
your encoding is iso-8859-1 and it contains characters which cannot be
normaly read
using the default english encoding.
try change the setings of your mail soft or try typing your name using only
english characters
the string =F1 simply says to mail agent to insert the character defined as
Q in
iso-8859-1 character set (=?iso-8859-1?Q?)
the digest agent simply does not perform any actions on this code
it thinks that it is pure text. it is the same thing that it do with html
in mail. it does not format, decode or do something other with this code.
bye.
