Re: [Nmh-workers] quoted printable. make it stop.

I've just discovered that, since I upgraded from NMH 1.5 to NMH 1.6, all
of my outgoing emails are equipped with

Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

You actually communicate with people who notice?

That means that any line that is longer than, I think, 72 characters
gets an equal sign at the end, and all of my actual equal signs are
encoded into =3D.

How do I make it not do that?

All outgoing email is now processed via mhbuild.  The transfer encoding
isn't quoted-printable unless you happen to have lines longer than 78
characters.  You can change that with the -maxunencoded switch to mhbuild,
which you could put in your profile.  You could also manually specify a
Content-Transfer-Encoding via mhbuild directives, but I doubt you want
to do that.

In the larger sense ... how come you care?  Nowadays pretty much everyone
can handle a quoted-printable email just fine.
