No, I don't think that's it. Katy's original message was sent from a Windows
machine, QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.1

using Macs - ?

That, however, could be true.

It's interesting to note that Katy's message with the special characters was encoded
"iso-8859-1" while the second explanatory message without any special characters was
encoded "us-ascii." Does Eudora do that automatically? Or does do the lines below
from the original header have something to do with this?
