David,

When this message came back from you, the characters in question were
garbled. When replies come form others, this is not the case. I see that
my posts contain:

	Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

in the headers. Your envelope around that in the reply contains

	Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

I would have thought that my e-mailer (evolution) would have dealt with
your wrapper (quoted-printable), and then used the nested 
charset=ISO-8859-1 for the text I wrote.

Maybe the interleaving of your reply with my text confused the issue?

How odd. Anyone else see odd characters (not the original I sent) in
David's reply? Also, David's ? (an 'n with a tilde in case there is more
of this) came as something totally different.

I do not think the mailing list is doing this as my posts with these
characters look correct when I receive them back from the mailing list.
It is only David's post.

All not really an issue. More of a curiosity.
