yes, =xx is typical of quoted-printable. The emails which have it should have Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable as one of their headers, so that the mail client will translate =xx to the appropriate byte value when displaying the mail on a computer screen. Similarly, a quoted-printable email may contain an equal sign as the last character on a line to indicate that it should be joined to the next line, with no line break, on display. > > Anyway, I've grabbed the patched digraph.c from svn and have > successfully build vim and gvim 203. > > Thanks to all of you - Tony, Bram and Chip - for responding. > Best regards, Tony. -- Power corrupts.
