- The doc files contained Epson control sequences to switch font once in
- a while. Those are exactly the characters stripped by the mailer.
-
- Fixing the files is not evident, since commands like:
-
- sed 's#E\(.*\)F#\1#' doc_file
-
- will also match proper text.
-
- I think the best thing to do is to repost the documentation.
