So ELM does actually present a bit stream as sequence of printable
characters? How modern!

By whose judgment? The mailing list rules say:

- Read the FAQ (http://www.clamav.net/faq.html) before posting
- Search the archives before asking a question
- Do NOT top-post (see http://www.helsinki.fi/~mjkinnun/toppost.html)
- Do NOT quote everything
- Do NOT send HTML mails
- Do use MUTT instead of ELM

Ok, I made up the last one. But nothing about PGP. Don't get me wrong,
I'm not interested in debating you on this issue. I won't even call you
a wanker (because I believe this is inappropriate for any kind of
civilised conversation).

If your mail client puts undecoded MIME in the quotation it is even more
important to trim.

Cheers
