this is a revival of an old thread, from last december. the symptom is:

i believe there was consensus that a) this behavior was a result
of a problem with the original content encoding, and that b) the
nmh decoder should be more tolerant when decoding, and simply
pass mis-codings through untouched.
was this change ever made? (i confess i'm not running the latest
code... "show -version" reports 1.1, built 2/27/2004.)

p.s. the main sources of such mis-encodings in my experience are
mailing lists (specifically sourceforge lists) which
indiscriminately apply a signature containing encodable
characters to message bodies which have already been encoded. i
tried filing a bug against the sourceforge infrastructure, but i
doubt anything came of it.
