NO, the problem in this case is that the email was sent to az-observing@xxxxxxxxxxxx as HTML. Az-observing does not accept HTML email format and tries to change all the special characters used in that format. Paul kindly sent me the word file that he generated. I have converted it to plain text and returned it to him, so hopefully he will repost it. Hope this clears up things some.
