When you first switch to e85, you might want to consider changing the fuel filter after running 500 miles or so on E85 and maybe a couple times after that. The ethanol will actually clean any sludge and particles in your gas tank and fuel lines and can clog your fuel filter decreasing fuel economy and cause hard starts , hesitation on acceleration and bad idle.

i heard about a hard start when cold, but i never heard of hesitation on acceleration and bad idle, why is that? i'm thinking about going the E85 route but trying to get all the info that i can

No it does not rot lines. What I have noticed in some high mile cars is that the E85 has a habit of working crap in the tank loose and clogging the filter. Even then I cant say it was the E85 and not the filter being nasty to start with.

Read the E85 thread, as Mike said, NO it will not eat your lines. I believe AMS or Buscher, I can't remember, took the entire EVO fuel system and soaked it in E85 for a month, with no effect.
