{researches a bit} Hmmm. It only appears to happen when non-ASCII
characters are in the message I'm replying to.
OT: Seeing how you seem to have some passing acquaintance with ASCII
character set issues, I thought I would ask if you are familiar with
whatever 'character' problem causes me to see a pair of displayed
characters that look like the graphic box 'T' character, followed by the
letter 'a', at various places in my e-mail when I use Pine via this simple
'telnet' client on Vista?
I know it has something to do with my 'terminal type' settings, because
I don't get this problem in my Win98 'Hyperterminal'. But it only occurs
in mails that come (you guessed it) from certain Outhouse mail clients.
Is there a character sequence that I could possibly 'translate' out of the
e-mail before I view it in telnet?
