My FAQ is approved by the *.moderators and is posted monthly by the
rtfm.mit.edu FAQ-Server.
For some strange reason spurious characters are appearing in the FAQ it
appeasr in the newsgroup. Eg. <<<<== SAVE THIS MESSAGE NOW ==>>>> appears as
<<<<=3D=3D SAVE THIS MESSAGE NOW =3D=3D>>>>
Now, 3D is hexidecimal for 61, which is the ASCII code for and equals sign
'=' which is what is meant to be there. But what is making this change and
why. I have checked it at an ASCII level on my computer, and the codes are
not present when I send the FAQ to the FAQ server - the '=' signs are stored
as a normal ASCII 61. But when it appears in the newsgroup the extra
characters have been inserted.
This occurs right throughout my FAQ whenever I use an '=' sign. In other
parts of the FAQ there is a sprinkle of '=7F's too.
Does anybody have any idea about why this happens and how I can stop it?
