Perfect it means I can get rid of some of the old stuff now :D

Could you please NEVER under any circumstances, post to News with
quoted printable transfer encoding? Usenet is 8-bit clean.

So you believe there's a per-newsgroup setting for sending 7-bit
versus 8-bit in alpine? Do you also believe there are no other
newsreaders? Amazing.

Enable 8bit NNTP Posting
There is a comparable setting for Mail:
Enable 8bit ESMTP Negotiation
If ESMTP isn't available, it falls back on SMTP (7bit), so it's
backwards compatible.

You can create a filter, and define the "Age Interval" parameter to
set this. However, it is probably faster to use the nntp-range
variable in the main configuration screen.

What syntax violation is alpine creating? This isn't something I've
read about.

I trimmed nothing that you wrote, but the MIME boilerplate and headers
from the OP's article. You're an idiot. Not amazing.

I refuse to use proprietary Microsoft character codes, so I substitute
ASCII characters if possible.
You know you managed to encode your .sig delimeter? --=20
Don't do that.

Not for the last several years since they broke indexing.

I think you are using pedantry to avoid answering the question.
The Web uses an 8-bit character set by default. QP encoding of 8-bit
characters is never required. Yes, I know about character substitutions
in URLs, but that's encoding for another purpose. If a non-default
8-bit character set is used, then the Web page must identify which
one is being used; no encoding is required.

I certainly agree with this. As part of my long-standing objection for
MIME being inflicted upon News, I don't add MIME headers to my articles.
