Hi!

Now it's working ... i'm sorry to bother you with this stupid questions.

It's very confusing with all these perl-directories on fedora:

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/MIME/QuotedPrint.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/MIME/QuotedPrint.pm

But that's another story i've to learn ... ;-)

Thanks a lot!
