Re: Senyecan ortho. breakthrough

This is very interesting!!  When I wrote these characters in my
original, they appeared (at least on my monitor) perfectly formed,
not just on the edit screen and the preview screen, but also on the
message screen after the message had been posted:

0154 š is s-caron
0158 ž is z-caron
 230 µ is mu
Here the characters are displayed properly on my monitor.

In the response from Muke Tevers (see below) they do indeed appear as
the spacing umlaut and the spacing cedilla.  The mu is intact.

My logical deduction is that I can make those characters and he
can't.  My logical deduction doesn't make sense to me.  It's no
wonder I'm only semi-literate on the computer.  I have no idea what
makes things tick.  No need to waste a message on this in reply.  I'm
just wondering outloud.  But I would like to know (as a P.S. in other
messages?) what others saw, "my" characters or "Muke's" characters.

Muke:
If you have a poorly-behaved Windows mail client, it will try to send
cp-1251 (the Windows codepage) as Latin 1, which doesn't have these
characters.

A well-behaved mail client will thus try to display them thus:
   S-caron = broken pipe
   Z-caron = spacing umlaut
   s-caron = spacing trema
   z-caron = spacing cedilla


If you have a better-behaved mail client, it will tell you you're
trying
to send characters your encoding doesn't say exists.  Opera's mail
client
does it, anyway,  though its default is Latin 9, which _does_ include
the caronned characters.   [I would have included the characters for
broken
pipe, etc., above but they aren't in Latin 9, so it yelled at me....]
