You misunderstand what I am asking for. I have attached the file
Raw_email.txt to this post. That file contains the raw message to
which I am replying (the list post from you). This is the equivalent
of what I would like to see from one of your garbled messages.

You appear to be using Lotus Notes as your mailer. If I could, I would
tell you how to get what I want to see, but I have no idea how to do
this with Lotus Notes.

Hi

The message is sent in English, with HTML coding.=20
The headers (of one of the mails) looks like this:

I am a MailScanner noob, but I know a lot about email. It looks like a=20
