This one was different Gary.
At this end, it looked pretty much like Thai (at least, the only place I
have seen similar characters is on the side of canned fish from Thailand).
Maybe you need to add Asian support to your operating system? Maybe not.
Maybe Fernando is doing just what it says in the Subj: box - testing us.
I suspect the message was sent MIME encoded, and your system can't properly
interpret the exotic characters referred to by the =xx strings. So it just
reproduces them in the fond hope that you can do what it can't.

This is what showed up on my inbound digest. A string of paired
alphanumeric and alpha characters separated by the equals sign. Since it's
a test I'm sure I didn't miss any content.
But, I receive a lot of the lists posts with this type of coding or
whatever it is sprinkled through out the text. It's usually a pair of
letters and/or numbers with an equals sign. It makes reading the post more
challenging.
Anyone know what this is or what causes it on the sender's end? Is it HTML?
