Apparently not everyone who uses kmail has the problem.
Maybe it's the people who use html mail?
Neil Bothwick's posts often have the "==20", but usually just one or
two. Some posts are positively riddled with them, to the point of 
being terribly difficult to parse.
Everytime I look at the headers of such a post it says kmail, but 
not every kmail user has the problem. 
It's also possible the nix-to-news gateway handles html poorly.
Obviously, slrn is not supposed to handle html (which is how I like 
it). Overall the usenet experience of this list is poor, but of course 
the content is extremely useful. I just don't want all the email, because 
it'll end up on my phone and it'll cost me.

Probably in the end I'll just end up reading it in a web browser. 
Lowest Common Denominator these days I guess...
