Sorry list members, I meant to send that last mail to Hans only, but it pertty much explains why I had not known of the problem. I just checked with some of my friends and relatives and all my mail has been ok going to them, no garbage. Also I have sent many "test" msg's to myself on three other mail servers and have never seen any extra char's. But as I said to Hans, I am now set to plain text.
