Now that I have a test CentOS9 system set up, I am trying to get it to
send me logwatch reports via email. S-nail is proving very frustrating.
It almost works ... But not quite!
The main problem is bogus characters in the logwatch report. Here is a
section of the report I get through email:
==================

================================
What are all those =20 and =30 strings for? How do I make them go away?
I have been experimenting with a line in /etc/s-nail.rc.
set ttycharset=utf-8
That is the only value for this that produces anything useful. If I set
it to charset-7bit or charset-8bit, then s-nail complains about invalid
syntax on the "set mta=" line. What????
I just don't get it. Can someone shed some light on this?
For what it is worth, a test CentOS8 system using mailx (the REAL
mailx!) works perfectly. So do all of my CentOS7 and Fedora systems.
