Notes to self: Eat more lotus seeds to get high characters.

OK, here's how I believe it works:

IF your message contains high ASCII characters (em- and en-dashes,
ellipses,
curly quotes, etc.) and IF you use Lotus Notes and IF you post it to
austechwriter...

it will come out garbled.

The first message I sent this morning had some text copied from a web
page,
and came back garbled. I realised it contained some en dashes and fixed
them, but missed a couple of curly quotes. That was the second garbled
message. I fixed the curly quotes and sent it again, and that was third
time
lucky.
