hey mike,

>How come you were able to get two accents into your mail without them being
>automatically converted into different letters?

did you notice that in the list version of my message, the accents didn't
work?  and your garcon and merce and  didn't work either.  all of them
worked in your message directly to me, which appeared to be html-formatted.

i send my messages in plain text, but do non-unitedstatesian characters
using windows' character map (start | run | charmap)  the nice thing about
character map is when you select a character, the app displays a shortcut
key using the number pad.  i've memorized the most common ones.  the
shortcut keys work in all applications in windows, not just microsoft apps.

but they never work on the list.  anyone technical enough to know why?  and
is there any foolproof way to send common non-english characters to this
list?  i'm very curious.

trying again.  gargon, merch.  they look right, in the outgoing message.
and this message is definitely plain text.

patrick

np - florencia en el amazonas, an amazing recent opera loosely derived from
garcia marquez' 'love in the time of cholera'  did i say amazing?
