Hopefully I'll upgrade to 1.happen soon -- it's part of the
Ubuntu upgrade that's on my To-Do. In the meantime, I changed the
value to 998 in my .mh_profile.  It's harmless for now, provided
I don't try anything I normally wouldn't.

I prefer avoiding sending email that's encoded quoted-printable
because it makes it a little harder to "grep" through my outbox
folder.  I'd rather not need to decode a bunch of messages first.

Oops!  Yeah, missed that NBSP character.  B-[
