 Ah, newsgroups servers are mostly quite archaic and haven't a clue. They
can't for the most part get the clues which tell email clients which
platform and which client you're using. Thus the server saw a Mac's � and
read it as a pc's whatever it is and transmitted it to the entire group.

The most common problems in newsgroups are curly quotes both single and
double and dieresis.

No Mac was harmed in that experiment. :-)
