That explains the lack of quoting in those messages that I was wondering
about. (BTW, Tony, the package is in the mail.)

According to something Robert Watkins pointed out to me once, when this
came up before, it has to do with (I believe) the following lines from my
message header:
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT
I've no idea what to do to fix it, however. Oh, and in case someone
suggests it, setting my mailer to 8-bit encoding makes it give the
following warning:
*** PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE CAREFULLY! ***
8-bit data is formally illegal in Internet Mail and although many systems
permit it, you should be aware that its use can potentially cause
considerable problems for Internet sites using older mail systems and
gateways.
Pegasus Mail allows you to generate messages using the MIME 8-bit
encoding format (no other 8-bit encoding makes any sense for Internet
mail) but you do so at your own risk and responsibility. Pegasus Mail's
author expressly recommends that you do not use this option unless you
are very sure of what you are doing, and will neither accept
responsibility for the consequences of your using it, nor will provide
technical support for it.
Just thought I'd point it out beforehand :)
