Ron,

I use Netscape's email program and I can set the character encoding
separately for individual folders. I haven't found a way of doing this
in Outlook Express

I've now added a cross-browser solution. This will work on Firefox and IE
- it
should also work in NS and other Gecko-based browsers but I haven't tried
it as
these are really going downhill now, so much so that I've uninstalled them
or only
have older versions. It doesn't work in my version of Opera but does no
harm. It
should do no harm in other browsers, other than the fact that the effect
might not
show (ie the burgundy might not appear). Examining the latest browser
statistics I'm
not sure I care to try to make it work in browsers like Opera and Netscape
which now
have less than 1% of the market. I know this represents a lot of people
but since
I'm not selling stuff it doesn't seem worth it  :)

I've changed your burgundy #800000 to the slightly lighter #990000 to make
it browser-safe.

Sorry.  This went out under the wrong title ...  Too much multi-taking
action here today, I'm afraid.

Sandy, the page looks great ... yeah, even the color, I'm afraid to say. 
;-)  It blends in nicely while still being distinct.  Great job!  I for
one would wholeheartedly approve if you used it as a template.  This makes
for excellent corpus presentation, especially of a language that is fairly
closely related to that of the target readership.

And I found it works well in Internet Explorer.

Congratulations!

Reinhard/Ron
