Beste Ron,

Folks,

As yet another experiment I am sending out the test string of characters in
HTML mode, this time using different fonts.

*Sans Serif*
Below is a string of "special" Roman characters (with diacritics and such):
¡ ¢ £ ¤ ¥ ¦ § ¨ © ª « ¬ ¬ ¬® ¯ ° ± ² ³ ´ µ ¶ • ¸ ¹ º » ¼ ½ ¾ ¿ À Á Â Ã Ä Å Æ
Ç È É Ê Ë Ì Í Î Ï Ð Ñ Ò Ó Ô Õ Ö × Ø Ù Ú Û Ü Ý Þ ß à á â ã ä å æ ç è é ê ë ì

The previously sent experiments arrived as expected in my Yahoo mailbox.


This is the best New Year's present I had in years. I jumped for joy...all 4
messages sent since "Technica (01B)" came through, perfectly readable.
Including those of Hannelore Hinz. This is the first time in my life that
I'm able to fully read her messages...what a joy! Almost feels as if I've
discovered Rosetta's stone ;=).

The test message in "Technica (01A)" was still "Kauderwelsch" though
(nothing but variants of A).

Thanks a bunch Ron for straightening this out.

Kindest greetings,

Luc Hellinckx, Halle, Belgium

I'll be b...! (I nearly used an Australian vulgarism.)

Thanks for your prompt response, Luc. When you are happy, I am happy. ;-]

But let's see if this wasn't a fluke. I *hope* it has been solved, but all I
did was switch from "Rich Format" to "Plain Text" and back to "Rich Format".
If this solved the problem the back-and-forth switch must have removed some
bugaboo somewhere. What do *you* think, Marcus?

I hope we aren't rejoicing too soon.
