Dear David:

I wanted to read your post, I *tried* to read your post, but as you can  
see from the quoted bit above (abridged), it's near-impossible.

This is due to a bug somewhere between Apple's Mail program (the likely  
culprit) and the server that handles our posts for this list. As you  
can see, any kind of "high ASCII" character gets garbled, which then  
affects the entire message. This post itself might have "20s" on the  
end of each line just because I *quoted* your high-ascii stuff.

Please, carefully go through your sigs (that's usually where the  
problem lies, and in the case of yours above it's clear that this is  
the problem) and change them to PLAIN TEXT. I had a problem exactly  
like this in one of my sigs until I looked more carefully and  
discovered that the apostrophes and quotemarks weren't plain text but  
"curled." Changing that solved the problem.

Thanks!
