LUGNET does not correctly decode quoted-printable messages on the web
interface. For example, look at:
http://news.lugnet.com/technic/?n=10199
Note the brickshelf URL with the =3D in it. My newsreader displays it
correctly, along with the other funny characters shown at the bottom,
because it is able to decode this in the header:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
LUGNET should detect this and convert the =NN codes to the appropriate
characters (NN is the hexadecimal value for the encoded characters).
For more about this kind of encoding, see RFC 2045:
