Turn off 7-bit fake-8-bit-encoding on output. Called QP in Eudora,
differently in Outlook, I believe. I give this advice to all my
correspondents and they are always better off. They thank me so much ! It
requires an 8-bit-clean system, which is the de facto norm in
non-English-speaking environments nowadays anyway, and more and more in the
English-speaking world as well.
