However because SF put the trailer which contains "= " (in the 2nd line) which is an invalid combination of characters in a QP-encoded message ('=' must be always followed by 2 hex digits), cclient refused to decode the body text and so it is shown to you in Mahogany undecoded. I sent a message to the cclient list about this but I don't expect this to be changed (I'd be astounded if Mark Crispin started to worry about users' concerns all of a sudden... programs must work correctly, not be user-friendly as we all know... grrr). Instead I'll just write my own QP-decoding routine which will ignore the invalid character combinations.
