Every modern fully equipped emailer can understand quoted printable, and
it's certainly not outdated. Furthermore, "CLI-emailers" (which is a
very poor way to describe Pine) are not outdated, Pine is certainly
more up to date than Newsie. And using text-based programs is something 
that is still done and still supported and developped, and I would
especially expect users of a Unixy OS to understand that. Now can we stick
to postings that are really mint-related?

Thanx :)
