Re: a mime test

[John Gastineau <john@GASTINEAU.ORG>]

Ah, but that's it--it is not OK. See the equals signs at the line ends? And
see the x=B2?=20 where there is supposed to be a superscript two? Those are
additional MIME codes that your emailer should strip out. The message I'm
posting now is not in MIME format (I set my mailer that way) so that there
should be no such equals signs at the ends of lines, nor an =20 at the end of
a paragraph.

The mime errors that have been occurring are not major, and I think that's why
many members of phys-l have not complained.
