Dear Spiders,
The appearance of extended ASCII characters (the proper term for these
unusual characters) has nothing to do with the age of Arachne's server

On your Mac, if you go to the system preferences and choose âKeyboardâ,
you can check the box that says âshow keyboard and emoji viewers in menu

Same results in France - quote marks came through, but the rest in

I bless Arachne, and all its members, frequently - so much knowledge, so
much goodwill - and in my first language, which is a joy.

Thanks, Bev, for the reminder of the plain text usage. Anybody old enough to
have grappled with e-mail in its early days will remember this usage, and it

First, ditto Shirley T. ! The arachne list is an ongoing delight.
Jeri, your underline, bold and italic won't be seen in any country. It

Your test here in Australia came through as with others, Jeri. Punctuation
but no italics, or bold, or underline.

When books are reviewed, it is nice to put a title in bold italics instead
