Unfortunately, my Pegasus emailer displays the word after
"procurador" as:-
y p a a-circumflex eurosymbol trademarksymbol p a

and the last word in this extract:-
> Round off:  matinechhualmonahuatilis mitz motlacuilhuia ynaq Cmc
> mitzmotlaçohtilia

as:-
m i t z m o t l a A-tilde paragraphsymbol o h t i l i a

Other language-related email groups that I am in, have also
reported this sort of corruption in transit of accented letters and
special characters, i.e. of any character whose internal code
number is more than 127. These are called "high-order characters".

Citlalyani.
