sure . I sftp'd the file from one system to the other
When "cat" the file it looks OK

Should be checked. However mail should be independent since you do not know
anything of the recieving system


>3. Define unreadable. What _exactly_ is wrong with the email?
Just a bunch of "random" characters.



>4. Perhaps the OpenSuse list would be a better place for this?
Agreed. Note that I posted it there and send an CC to the Fedora list.
Guess, who answers first and wgy I love Fedora so much and do not like my
university forcing Opensuse on me.
