RE: About oracle-l: some odd combinations of characters

Well, well, well.  Troublemaker strikes again.

I am using Outlook 2002 on an XP laptop, I'm 99% sure our exchange
server is running 2003. =20

Honestly everyone!  The extra characters don't bother me.  It's a small
price to pay just to have this list available.  Jeez, it's FREE.=20

Have a great weekend, everyone.
