- Dorothy, et. al.,
-
- The character set used by the uuencode program includes the right and left
- square brackets ║║; as many will see, these characters get corrupted during
- some stage of the email process. In my case they arrive as vertical hyphens
- (the shifted character to the immediate left for the backspace key on the
- 101-key keyboard. (Sorry--don't know the ascii #). Because I don't know which
- (right or left) each represents, I can't run a ci routine on the file and so I
- can't uudecode the messages.
-
- Could you all use xxencode instead? Specifically, Dorothy, could you resent a
- n xxendoced copy of NOCZ2?
