I have received several pieces of mail with embedded control characters.
Specifically, I have received nroff output with underlining.  Somewhere 
along the way, the backspace code gets translated into the characters '^' 
and 'H', to make the control code readable.  The result is that the 
entire mail message is a mess.

Please filter such items through "col -b" before mailing to get rid
of these control characters.  Thanks.
