Nope. I use Outlook Express and (I assume) it uses its
own character set. At least, I have not installed anything
different for it. Interestingly, the post by Bear Woodson that
was posted directly after your msg, was correct. I wonder if
this is a case where people aren't sending their messages
in ASCII format? In the old system, there were occasions
when I had the number 20 appear in the middle of the text
that was the cause. Oh, well. I guess I'll put up with it. It just
looks very strange. <g>
