Thanks for the info. I&#39;m going to look into it.  <br><br>Just to illustrate a little better, this is what it looks like. <br><a href="http://www.alan-warren.com/images/strange_chars.jpg">http://www.alan-warren.com/images/strange_chars.jpg</a><br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
My thumbdrive has been mounting fine, but recently it started mounting<br>
with strange characters in it&#39;s name.<br></div><div class="im">
My thumbdrive mounts as /media/ <br>

I can offer an observation but not an answer.  Your email client, mutt,<br>
is sending &quot;quoted-printable&quot; text, so I&#39;m not sure I&#39;m reading the same<br>
thing that you are writing.<br>
<br>
For example, your last line, above, looks to me like this when I view your<br>
post in raw ascii:<br>
<br>
&#39;My thumbdrive mounts as /media/=0E&#39;<br>
<br>
That =HH is typical of &quot;quoted-printable&quot; encoding:<br>

Maybe someone else can tell us if this has any relation to your problem?<br>
