Yes.  Specifically, MIME.  I've chosen not to block MIME as I do HTML,
even though it may lead to confusion.  At least MIME cannot spread
viruses, worms, or web bugs, nor does it waste tremendous amounts of
space.

The =A3 should be the pounds sterling sign.  That should be 8.50
British pounds or about $14 US money.

I'll see if I can automatically de-MIME that symbol whenever it
appears on this list, as I already do several other symbols.  But
I hope Mike will find a way to simply turn off MIME in his mailer.
