squares; you have to look those up somewhere like the Danny Goodman book:
I did this very recently. So there is probably no need for everyone to
flood the lists with the annoying things!

Subject: I didn't type that! What happened to my email?
The one on MacScript was a little lame but explaned the common appearance
of sequences like this "=FF" in email there. I assumed it was the
client,
but no, it's the server. Instead of returning a "garbage" character it
returns the hex value (with a leading equal sign) for any ascii characters
over 127. (128-255).
If someone would like a copy of the result I could send them one and/or
I could post it on my site if anyone would like to be able to refer to it
occasionally.
I emailed Chuq about the problem conversions like that less than or equal
sign to a greater than sign. Duh.
I can't imagine it would be much more than editing a mapping table but I
could be wrong. In the meantime the last version works fine for
converting
to email. Unless it seems the characters in that table are going to
be addressed soon (unlikely) I'll update it and possibly come up with a
semi intelligent character replacement scheme that figures out which
commas
are really commas and not continuation characters. But that greater than
less than thing REALLY SUX. C'mon Chuq. I have faith that you could do
it with less than 10-15 minutes of concentrated effort. Probably less if
you're half the expert I've heard about... 8)
