I had the same problem posting the ER FAQ last month, and it puzzles me
because I used exactly the same method that I've been using before (sending
from Eudora Pro 4.0 Mac via "SimpleText"--no fancy formatting involved--to
my Unix Pine account, then to Usenet), without the error occuring; last
month was the first time it happened. The maddening thing is, it looked
good from here on both the Mac sending and the Unix receiving/re-sending
ends, but when I went to read the post in *.answers, the MIME encoding
reared its ugly head.

I wish I could've sent it straight from MT-Newswatcher on my Mac--never had
a problem with it adding MIME encoding--but MT-NW won't allow the larger
parts of the FAQ, and I don't want to break it up into any smaller pieces
than I've already done.
