The problems probably originated from everybody replying to my recent
message.
Sorry.
(I just got my computer back from the shop a few days ago. They formatted
my entire hard disk to solve a problem, and I've been trying to undo
a lot of things they did without my knowledge while reinstalling Windows
and other programs.  :-P)
I thought that I had the coding of emails down; apparently not.
Sorry again about all the problems. How is _this_ post coming through?
What format _should_ I be using? ISO? Windows? Western Europe?
Eastern Europe? Unicode (which one?)?
