This isn't a lit query, but I know there are a couple or more computer gurus
out  there -- or maybe others who used gmail.  Suddenly, when I open
"compose mail", in the body of the e-mail dark numbers appear scattered
throughout.  I think they come through, so you probably can see what I'm
talking about.  I have no clue where they came from, or what they are.  All
I know is that they are endlessly annoying and it's a royal pain to delete
them.  Anyone able to tell me??

What you have here are numerals, not numbers; therefore, you need the help of the digital equivalent of a typesetter, not the help of a mathematician--thank God.

Seriously though, as you don't tell us what email program you're using, it's hard to suggest a solution. Is there no 'WonderMail help' menu? Is there no way of getting in touch with your ISP?

If you'll let me know what program it is, I'll ask my son in Seattle, if he has any hunches. Andreas or Paul Stone, may solve the problem effortlessly, of course.
