Mac User Code Question [message #58953] Wed, 27 February 2008 07:29 Go to next message

Folks,

Just a quibble this morning, but with more and more people
using Macs, here is something I don't understand. When Mac
users post IDL code to this newsgroup, all of the equal signs
in the code turn out like "=3D" in my news reader (Gravity).

I can strip them out easily enough, but it does give me
difficulties reading the code in my news reader. Does anyone
know why this happens? Should I be setting some property in
my news reader to get the proper encoding?

Cheers,

David

No, this is happening for almost everyone running a Mac.
I think the "problem" is on my end. If I choose to "decode"
these posts, they look fine.

Cheers,

Is this my mis-handling done on my end or on your end? I'm pleased to
look into it if I can improve my posts...
