Somewhere between you and the faq-server, someone is MIME-encoding
your mail. We do plan to teach the faq-server about MIME, but for the
moment it's a bit of a stumblinbg block. The most likely culprit is
your mail composition software (i.e., Eudora, elm, pine, or whatever).
Try turning off whatever MIME or quoted-printable options you see.
If that doesn't work, you probably have a rogue 8-bit character
somewhere your file: an accented letter, "smart" quotes, an em dash,
or even a nonbreaking space. Any 8-bit character will cause many
mailers to automatically MIME-encode the file before passing it along.
Remove it and your problem may be solved.
