I just received a few files over BITNET from Europe, all ASCII text files
(c code to be specific). The following characters were munged ->

Left square bracket to lower case c
Right square bracket to exclamation mark
Exclamation mark to vertical bar
Vertical bar to \347 octal.

Heaven help your uuencoded files.
If you see any of this happen, let your postmaster know.
It is important to try and track these munger-*uckers down!
