Jill, I really thought this idea would excite you. Of course it would have seemed more exciting if you had used a UTF-8 aware mailer (and/or installed Code2000) ...



Code2001 is a freeware font which covers Plane One. Code2000 isn't and doesn't.



Sorry, my mistake, of course I meant Code2001. I presume that is where Mozilla found the glyphs. It's amazing what it can find, even Doug's private alphabet.

This may be the fault of my ISP, the illustrious AT&T's "Webmail".
It may not properly tag my outgoing messages as UTF-8. A colleague
has written privately to say that it was necessary to manually set
the character set to UTF-8 in order for my contrived example to
display.


Yes, it looks like you are right. Mozilla 1.5 autodetected UTF-8. I'm surprised Thunderbird, which is basically the same code, didn't do the same for Jill.
