You would probably be better off posting in plain text without the encoding. Honestly I don't know how to do that when you're using a different character set (GB2312). I especially know nothing about how to do it with Outlook Express. But most likely, Erik's spam filters consider *anything* encoded to be obfuscated spam, or possibly it took exception to some "bad" words embedded in the encoding. Although if either of the above is correct one could argue: 1. That filter is brain-dead, and 2. Auto-responding to (suspected) spam is ill-advised, and 3. It is as ill-conceived as vacation msgs responding to list msgs [*], there's little you can do other than avoiding the encoding. Or you could just choose to ignore it. [*] At least it didn't go back to the list. -- Email address is a temporary one that will only work for a couple of days. Spammers' unrelenting address harvesting forces me to this... reluctantly.
