    You've got quoted-printable transfer encoding turned on. If the Tbird
    group gets created, I'm going to yell at you severely if you continue
    to do that.

    Usenet has always been 8-bit clean. Stop using QP encoding.

    IMHO you should yell at him for this:

    | X-Antivirus-Status: Clean
