It's not KMail, it's your OpenPGP signature. Attaching the signature switches your mail from text/plain to multipart/signed, and the mail client switches to quoted-printable for the text part of the message. However, there does seem to be some kind of problem with the mail-to-news gateway. The quoted-printable "soft-return" sequence is =20, but it's being turned into "==20" somewhere along the way. slrn *does* support quoted-printable messages, if they were well-formed quoted printable :) For reference, this is what your mail looks like coming over SMTP; note the lack of "==20" anywhere: --Sig_/TRElrs3oa099GBUkPVLmB/I Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Mon, 28 Mar 2011 14:11:55 -0400, Elaine C.

The =3D20 is usually caused by a quoted-printable message, meaning either your newsreader cannot handle quoted-printable or the mail-to-news gateway is screwing it up. --=20 Neil Bothwick
