Buggery.

This is a far from satisfactory situation. My only thought is that Opera is
in some way broken, but that wouldn't explain why some people receive my
posts OK and some don't. I'm loathe to reinstall, as I'm not sure what of
my configuration I'd lose.

One particularly nasty symptom is that the strings of high-ascii characters
used for UTF-8 characters seem to increase in length with each iteration of
replies.

Any hints from fellow Opera users on what things I might want to look into
re fixing this?
