Attached is a message that does not get quoted when I reply to it.  The 
note above my text is replaced by the note saying on blah blah Olaf said 
, followed by my text quoted just like it is in his letter, and no 
quoting for his message.

   There is an updated GhostScript port available from Fred Fish on
the March/April Fresh Fish CD. I have no FTP access, so I couldn't
upload this particular version. Fred compiled it for plain 68000
machines and I removed the FPU option. The program is too large to
send by mail, so the only hope would be that some kind soul copies
the program off the CD and uploads it to Aminet (you could try
asking for this in comp.sys.amiga.applications for example).
Let me warn you that colour printing will consume an awful lot of
memory (12 times the size of black & white printing) and with
a plain 68000 system you would probably need to wait ten to twenty
minutes per page to get your document printed.

Matt,

The source of the problem here is the "Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary" 
header.  This is on the list for further investigation.

Thanks for the report!
