Thanks Mike, but I am confused.  Is the "7bit" the cause and the
"quoted-printable" the cure?  Or the other way around?  Frank did
not provide any information about his mods for us to know which
way he did it.  When I search my spam folders, the only place I
get HTML mail, I only see the =20 pattern in messages with the
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable".

To be fair, I only eye-balled the first 5-10 out of several thousand.
I did a search on =20 in the mail folder, then back tracked to the
Encoding.  When I searched on 7bit, and scrolled through the body of
the message, I did not find/see any =20 patterns.
